Not a fan of how the Michaels were instantly released.
1. Meng was released on American terms. The acting U.S. attorney in Brooklyn, said that in entering into the agreement, "Meng has taken responsibility for her principal role in perpetrating a scheme to defraud a global financial institution."
They can now further build the case against Huawei & legally target them not only in US but also in Europe on basis of her statement.
2. China always officially maintained that the 2 Michaels weren't in anyway linked with the Meng case. But them getting instantly released shows that this wasn't the truth and that there was no due process in their arrest or release and they were simply victims of hostage diplomacy.
Remember, Meng was never convicted but the Michales were and infact sentenced too. Both were not on the same pedestal. Espionage is a much much serious charge than what Meng was in for.
Also watch when the Michales land in Canada how they'll cry & claim they were tortured by Chinese authorities and fabricate all type of lies just to make them look like victims. At the end of the day thanks to American PR, Meng will be seen as a white collar fraud and the Michaels as victims.
