Huawei ’s chief fiscal officer Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Canada on behalf of the U.S. last weekend and the incident snaffle the spherical spotlight after the arrest was revealed publically on Wednesday night . Meng was apprehended for allegedly violating U.S. warrant against Iran , but we wo n’t officially pick up the rush until her bail bond hearing subsequently today in Vancouver .
China has demand that Meng bereleased straight off , while American businesspeople are being warned about traveling to China . It ’s a fast - moving story that has draw the attention of everyone from bankers on Wall Street to technologists in Silicon Valley . But what occur next ? We ’ve got a cycle - up of everything you lose while you were asleep .
American tech executives warned about travel to China
Executives in the tech diligence are being warned about traveling to China as some experts speculate that the Formosan government could retaliate over the collar of Huawei ’s Meng . The 46 - year - one-time Meng , who sometimes goes by the nameSabrina or Cathy , is n’t just the CFO of Huawei . She ’s also the daughter of founder Ren Zhengfei , who has close tie beam to the People ’s Liberation Army , the name for China ’s armed force .
Shaun Rein of the China Market Research Group told the Sydney Morning Herald today , “ If I were a high stratum exec at Google or Cisco I would n’t visit China anytime presently . ”
I have seen speculation that China may strike back by arresting a US technical school executive . That would for sure be explosive , but I am not sure Beijing would do that without a very clear effectual guinea pig as it would sabotage the monumental propaganda campaign the Party has undertaken to portray the PRC as open for strange business and as the defender of the global trading system . However , if I were a US technical school executive I would delay travel to China for a flake or go on a holiday if based there …
I guess the takeout food is that if you ’re an American bourgeois looking to go to China , you know the peril right now . And it ’s likely just not worth it until things settle down .

Actually, it might be about bank fraud
Why was Meng arrested ? The reason we keep hearing is that Huawei has violated U.S. sanctions against doing stage business with Iran . But that might not be what the Americans sanction at last use to engage Meng . She might very well get charge with bank building pseud .
Reutersreports :
The United States has been looking since at least 2016 into whether Huawei ship U.S.-origin production to Iran and other countries in violation of U.S. exportation and sanctions laws , Reuters reported in April .
More recently , the probe has included whether the caller used HSBC Holdings Plc to convey illegal transactions require Iran , the people said .
Companies are barred from using the U.S. fiscal organisation to funnel commodity and service to sanctioned entities . If the peregrine phone and telecom equipment manufacturer comport such dealing and then misled HSBC about their true nature , it could be guilty of bank fraud , expert say .
Huawei , which has appointedChairman Liang Huaas act CFO while Meng is in detention , must obey American authorization against doing business with country like Iran if it want to have a rightful presence in the United States . And if they ’re using American - based banks to outrage sanction , that becomes a trouble for them .

Unnamed rootage in Japan reportedly cite the same security concerns as other countries like Australia , the U.K. , and Canada . Those business organization call for the close ties of Huawei and ZTE to the Chinese government activity and fears that Formosan electronics could be used to stag on not only Nipponese citizen , but Japanese government officials as well .

Did President Trump know the arrest would happen?
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau say that his governmentwasn’t involvedin the arrest of Meng , but that he was made cognisant Clarence Day before . But how much did President Trump know about the halt as he went into his turn dinner group meeting with Taiwanese President Xi Jinping over the weekend ? The answer ? He did n’t cognize much .
President Trump reportedly had no idea that the Huawei exec would be arrested . At least that ’s what national surety advisor John Bolton hint at to National Public Radio late yesterday .
FromNPR :
[ NPR ] : All mightily . Did the president know in cash advance that this stoppage was total ?
[ John Bolton ] : You bonk , I do n’t lie with the answer to that . I knew in advance , but this is something that ’s , that we get from the Justice Department and these kinds of things happen with some frequency . We certainly do n’t inform the president on every one of them .
OK . So you eff at that dinner then over the weekend with China ’s president that this stay was taking berth ?
Well , you know , there are a lot of things that are pending in any afford prison term . You do n’t know exactly what ’s going to happen in terms of a particular legal philosophy enforcement action , that depend on a slew of other circumstances .
cornet has yet to tweet directly about the Huawei case , but it ’s rather dumfounding that we have a situation where the president may have been completely in the dark about this situation — an international incident that is n’t going away anytime soon and has major implications for the U.S. stock market and the American engineering sphere more loosely .
Instead , Trump looks like very concerned in Robert Mueller ’s investigation this morning .
Robert Mueller and Leakin ’ Lyin ’ James Comey are Best Friends , just one of many Mueller Conflicts of Interest . And bye the direction , was n’t the cleaning lady in charge of prosecuting Jerome Corsi ( who I do not have intercourse ) in charge of “ legal ” at the corrupt Clinton Foundation ? A total Witch Hunt …
— Donald J. Trump ( @realDonaldTrump)December 7 , 2018

And that was all in less than an minute .
Maybe the president can squeeze in a comment about the Meng case and ourNew Cold Warin between rage - tweets about the Russia probe . But we ’re not obtain our breath . He seems like he ’s got his hands full today .
