Why don't Canada respect China's judicial process?

[youabcouthad]

Canadian logic is as same as of someone who paid a guy to beat you. But when you fight back and defend yourself, this guy asks you indignantly to not hurt him because he was following the instruction of someone who paid him to beat you.

[ahlim]

The important thing for canadians to remember is to release Ms Meng WANZhou unconditionly, then you can argue about the 2 detained canadians, no point canadians seeking allies assistance on this matter without considering Canada arrested MS Meng WANZhou in the first place and she commits no crimes in Canada

[twood]

This is going no where, the Canadians is telling the Chinese those 2 guys is our concern, meanwhile ignoring the Chinese's concern. Then the Chinese is telling the Canadians their concern of the CFO, then ignoring Canadian's concern. Its like talking through each other, we seems to be able to communicate with one another, but never made any attempt to understand one another.

[jonathansum]

I still don't understand. Iraq sanction is illegal according to what UN has ruled out on 2018. Thus, how come Meng was arrested? Moreover, how come there are no CFOs or CEOs were arrested in US, even though Chase Bank had violated the same rule from 2008 to 2015?

[johnny]

Double standard. U keep asking for released but u r not releading hwa wei's ceo.

[cedricwai]

No deal until Canada releases Huawei CFO

[jeyhui]

Rule of law country Canada cries for Allies to put pressure on other's judiciary, is that a joke?

[rogers]

You don’t need to go there to repeat the same you have said many times here. Bring some new options, or you pay the trip yourself. Release Ms. Meng and bring back the Canadians. It’s really unfair for them to be caught in the cross-fire.

[chestnutridge]

Of course that it would not be business as usual... guess who will get hurt most? It is laughable to use that to threat China.

[yeahbb]

The real question is whether there is yet a sentient being in Canada who truly believes that the detention of Ms Meng was right, just or a good idea?

[sunst]

In any negotiation it must be two ways.
A win win position for all parties.

Like wise, each country have their Rule of law too.
The question is;
Do Canadian respect Chinese's Rule of law ?
If canadian don't, what do you think Chinese will ?

Don't be childish stop thinking of getting help.
All help is just lip service.
Who will want to sacrifice their own Country for you ?
Canadian have to resolve the matter yourself.

Trade with China ? FORGET IT.
You will NEVER EVER do any TRADE ON your OWN MERIT WITH ANY COUNTRY,
without your father, America approval.

CANADA YOU ARE DOOM.
INSTEAD OF MOVING FORWARD, YOU ARE STEPPING BACKWARDS.
YOUR INTEREST IS SECOND, AMERICA INTEREST FIRST.
BEFORE YOU CAN PROSPER.

Canada must accept that China have their own laws

[CCMphilip]

"Kidnappers cries kidnapping" in the victim's house...!! Now seeking international campaign to support the cause of the kidnappers.. and how shameless can it get!!
Usage of "Arbitrary" equals Hypocrisy !!

[leonal]

I am amazed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 people including the news anchor spoke in this news, and everyone has the talent to "open their eyes and speak blindly" without blinking. Everyone just blatantly ignores the "big elephant in the room" that is Meng. What can I say? Outstanding actors and actresses!

[haowu]

What the heck was the PM of Canada discussing it with Trump for if the arrest of Meng was a purely legal matter that had no political influence whatsoever?

[fharrison]

Let’s stop talking about this issue until we can provide a actual solution, so far, I see nothing but childish

[余伟男]

every three sentences, there is a rule of law

[colint]

Why arbitrary detention ? So far there has been 4 detention of Canadians overseas. 3 by China and 1 by Russia.China released one Canadian who had an irregular work permit and she is now back home. We have another Canadian detained carrying multiple passports for multiple countries in Russia. The remaining 2 are under investigation in China for National Security. None of these were arbitrary.

[vincentinvention]

Attempting to get releasing of the 2 Canadians who broke the Chinese laws and for continuing imprisoning the Chinese CFO who did not break any of the Canadian laws, don't you think that would be ridiculous? Not a 3 years old kid would fall into that trick. The Chinese allows these delegates to meet some educational staffs and etc. is due to the courtesy or politeness as the host country. In terms of releases, I would say forget about it - not even Canada release their hostage.
