Japan will support Taiwan. For its national interest and its owner: the United States. But national attitudes and speaking out are two completely different things. Most likely this is a pre-planned conspiracy. Japan values collective loyalty, unlike Trump, Taro Aso cannot express his personal views publicly without first discussing with cabinet members on matters related to Taiwan and China

Chinese special forces should take her home.

They don’t need anything as dramatic if they really wanted to extract her. Disabling ankle bracelets is child’s play for any remotely competently trained expert, and Meng could be on a private jet and well into international airspace long before the Canadians knew what was going on, all with zero help from the Chinese government. Just look at how Ghosn escaped Japan so easily, and he organised that as a private individual without the resources of a major international company like Meng can demand any time she wants.

Part of me suspect that is what the Canadian government secretly want by granting her house arrest, since that would solve their own problem neatly for them, where China will have little reason to continue to sanction them, and they can claim they did all they can to their American overlords, and the Americans can use that as a pretext to sanction Huawei some more.

But that would effectively end Meng’s career as for Huawei to continue to employ her would cause the company all sorts of legal issues in the western world since Canada and America will trial and convict her in absence.

Meng’s position has long been backfilled, so she can stay there for as long as needed. It sucks for her career wise, but it’s not really going to set her back much in that regards as there will always be a suitably senior position for her as soon as she can return. And in the context of the pandemic, it’s not really like her house arrest is all that different from what the rest of us has had to endure in some form and duration anyways.

Yes. The same CPC that lifted the most humans out of poverty.

People often don't understand poverty. Westerners are far removed from it.

They don't have the conception of what that means and the good that it is just on its own, never mind the consequences of enriching and enabling a people. Of course this is a threat to those who wish to retain their great share of the world's resources. This is coming from those who have practiced actual genocide, war crimes, and many, many other horrors in their time of desperation, poverty (lol not even), and moments of "weakness". Pompeo represents a genuine example of what human evil looks like. There is no need for a satan or devil. There is plenty enough evil in humans as it is.

These guys parade around with moral posturing on the surface to appease the softer hearts but are actually thinking "these fucking ugly chinks are starting to take my share! how dare they violate my entitlements!"

They may lie for you one day and appease your ego, but the same men who lie for you will one day be lying against you. May the CPC resolve their own internal issues and make themselves and China better. Leave these overfed wankers alone and don't engage in their desperation unless it is absolutely necessary. The west has never been this decrepit and desperate before. Even during the Cold War, they did not rear such ugly sides. Maybe a different race of people rising up and progressing is particularly distasteful?

Queen Elizabeth II said the China-UK relations are very important and the royal family will continue to make efforts for the development of bilateral relations when she accepted a letter of credentials from China's new ambassador to the UK via video link.

The Chinese ambassador Zheng Zeguang praised the queen and the royal family for their long-term support for the development of bilateral relations, and said China is committed to developing healthy and stable bilateral relations with the UK.

The queen's remarks were a positive sign following Prime Minister Boris Johnson's remarks on a Chinese company's purchase deal with a British semiconductor chips manufacturing plant.

Ordering his national security adviser to probe the takeover, Johnson said,"I do not want an anti-China spirit to lead to us trying to pitchfork away every investment form China into this country. That would be economically foolhardy."

His government in early 2020 decided to ban Huawei from joining the UK's 5G network following the US government trumpeted concerns of espionage and surveillance, an accusation the Chinese telecommunication giant has denied repeatedly.

The EU parliament voiced calls to boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics over the so-called human rights abuses in Xinjiang. The British opposition Labour Party had pushed the issue but Prime Minister Johnson said he was "instinctively" against sporting boycotts.

Meanwhile, the British government has joined its Western allies in meddling in Hong Kong and Xinjiang affairs. This complex attitude of the UK in dealing with China reflected UK is carefully balancing its trade-centered relations with China and the influence of politics and ideology of the US-led Western group.

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang held a video conference with business representatives from the UK on Tuesday, and they discussed a wide range of issues including bilateral relationship, pragmatic economic cooperation, measures to improve the business environment and counter the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It marks the first formal business communication between the two countries in the absence of high-level diplomatic dialogue this year.

Britain needs a close cooperation with China to offset the impact of its withdrawal from the EU and elevate its global influence.

Although London is likely to continue following the political steps of the US government to make things difficult for China in order to achieve its diplomatic goal, relations between China and the UK could move toward a balance, observers predict, noting positive development of China-UK relations would offer an insight for the EU to handle its relations with China.
