Perspective: HUAWEi WOES

The arrest of Meng Wanzhou the CFO for HUAWEi is a significant International business development.  It is not my intention to interfere with Meng’s legal woes,  however, injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere.  If this is so?

Perception in this case is akin to fact. It is my perspective that Canada should not allow itself to be used as a pawn in global super power passa passa.  We say in Jamaica ‘cockroach no business in a fowl fight.’  The cockroach could get eaten.

PM Justin Trudeau said “This is a matter for the court to decide” he was breaking his silence on the matter.

Extradition Treaties are important cross border tools needed to make our world a safer place.  Was it intended to be used to settle trade wars?  We think not. It is our further perspective that the real purpose behind the extradition treaty concept was to help nab dangerous terrorists and hardened criminals, like drug don’s and human traffickers.  Huawei is not so involved,  is it?

For Canada to allow itself to be a police to be used to settle scores between China and the USA is not healthy for world trade. For example lobster and pork exports to China from Canada could be affected.  China could retaliate by restricting other imports from Canada. This could ruin the Canadian economy.

Canada has prided itself with an impeccable record of respecting the human rights of all especially on its shores.  I lived in Canada and can attest to their sound human rights record.  Meng Wanzhou is ill with a chronic condition.  She needs close medical supervision. Prison does not afford this.  The Honorary citizenship for the former Burmese strongwoman Aung San Suu Kyi was revoked over the Rakhine crisis.  The Tibetan issue where 600. 000 were displaced with the Royanja people made stateless… with supicion and or charges by Canadian officials of ethnic cleansing due to alleged human rights abuses under Aung San Suu Kyi as defacto leader.  In 1991 she got a Nobel prize for her humanitarian non violent efforts in Myanmar. Aung San is accused of complicity as the army cleanse the place ethnically.

Aung San Suu Kyi is the head of the former Ragoon Burma,  renamed Myanmar who is effectively under military rule with a puppet civilian administration.  The army pulls the strings although upfront you see civilians.  The real power brokers are the army not Aung San Suu Kyi. This is enshrined in their constitution.  A strange power sharing arrangement indeed.  Reports that the HUAWEi executive is suffering a serious health problem and is being held in detention could further cause her health to deteriorate .. this is distasteful and inhumane to say the least. Shame on you power brokers in Attowa.  The Tibetans are seen as oppressors and contribute to the  human rights crisis. Aung Sang is accused by Canadian officials as being complicit in relation to the alleged human rights abuses.

Can you imagine Meng spending Christmas imprisoned?  Canada should practice what it preaches.
