Honestly, I would have executed the two Michaels and put their heads up on a pike to warn anyone who dares fuck with China.
But whatever. Also, FUCK this princess, I hope China didn't expend any political capital or sacrifice any national interest in securing her release... the good of the motherland and 1.4B patriots should never depend on a single person, no matter whose fucking daughter, even Xi Jinping's daughter or Mao's son.

When you follow the right group of people, this stuff just shows automatically in your Twitter feed.
The good people starts flowing after following Carl Zha ;-)
Calm down a little. The Chinese government did its part: A Chinese citizen was held for ransom abroad and the government secured her safe return. That the citizen in question is fundamentally unworthy isn't really relevant to that.
Yeah, I agree, but I am really pissed off!
This was a freaking deathmatch!
It really was. US government versus Huawei was a deathmatch, and this part ends like this?
A total cave in?
WTF?!?
Now I am just as angry as when the whole thing started.
Three years later, "Oh, it was a giant misunderstanding."
Yeah, my ass!

Cue the Western propaganda: "China said it wasn't hostages, but it was!".... these clueless idiots are totally oblivious to Canada/US illegal detention and trumped-up charges (no pun intended) on Huawei Princess which they released as a quid-pro-quo. Then again, I think the average person can see it was a politically motivated arrest by Trump, and Canada got used.
Trade deal become FOMO deals
So, the local radio here in Canada is reporting this, or at least the talking head on the radio is giving this analysis:
Meng Wanzhou pleads not guilty.
US's deferred prosecution including the 4 year deadline to 2022 is an attempt to get a "win" out of a loss.
Canada's two Michaels have always been held in response to Meng Wanzhou, so they should be freed now, despite what Chinese officials say.
US case always shaky, shouldn't've asked Canada to detain her.
Hostage diplomacy needs to be cracked down on.
This is maybe a couple of hours old, I just heard it on the radio on my drive from work.
My thoughts: Yea this was hostage diplomacy both ways, eh? Meng Wanzhou should never have been detained. The sanctions on Iran are 1) Illegal and 2) Not Canadian law anyways so the Americans should've gone to get fucked.
But anyways, happy to see it resolved. Initial Canadian reporting was that she was going to plead guilty (that was on the radio on my way to work) but I'm really happy she pled not guilty. This was an undisputed win for China. The battle is won, but remember, the new Cold War continues.
