Just had a thought.

There is one thing Trump can do to hurt China. If he could make the Chinese build of Microsoft Windows stop working, he could totally wreck a lot of China's civilian computing ecosystem. It would be easy for Microsoft to break Windows selectively, in China only: Windows 10's automatic "upgrade" process is perfect for injecting viruses.

And lose the entire industry?

The number of assasins sent by the lobbyists and businessmen will outnumber Trump’s inauguration crowd. And Trump being stabbed to death by the entire senate is the BEST outcome here.

If it somehow happens, America would never sell a product again, not unless they regime change, change the flag and give it a few decades. The number of jobs and lives lost would make the Great Leap Forward look like a golden harvest in comparison.

Windows updates in China are vetted by the government before distribution. There are undoubtedly additional mechanisms in place to prevent this exact scenario from occurring.

it appears the initial sentence (15 years imprisonment) was low; would you comment

From what I read, he got 15 years initially because of his foreigner status

Jura said:
thanks for sharing, didn't know they'd use a firing squad

by the way I've read several books about capital punishment, on occasions almost faded and had to interrupt reading

I'm no fan of capital punishment myself because of the irreversibly of the sentence. Life sentence (with hard labour) without parole is better

Its patently obvious that China is "Squeezing Canada", by threatening to kill a Canadian citizen tried and convicted of drug smuggling in a Chinese court, and sentenced to 15 years! sounds about right, drugs are a serious problem in all of our countries....

Now comes China, trying the case once again, with no new evidence, and finding the defendant is guilty and sentencing him to death!

this is more than disturbing, its obvious what China is doing, and will further reinforce international perceptions about China!

Hi Brat, In NZ and I'm sure other countries in the West have, the prosecutor on their own or on behalf of the police can appeal the sentence if they think the judge has been too lenient with his/her sentencing.

What is horrible is that in the U.S. death rowers can sit behind bars up to 30yrs before the sentence is carried out.

US officials debate lifting tariffs on China to get a trade deal: WSJ

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was considering a proposal to lift some or all U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods in a bid to push trade talks between the U.S. and China further along, sources tell the newspaper.

Both countries have slapped tariffs on each other’s goods in an escalating trade dispute.

Shares spiked when the news broke, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 1 percent before settling back.

meh Trump will never achieve a deal where China is seen as a loser meaning that the trade war will likely continue. If Trump isn't seen as victorious then the media will rip him apart. He dug himself a deep hole.

I hope you were an objective person here, but I think different now
If Meng was a drug trafficker in US, and US goverment has the proof and want Canada to capture her and extradite to US, then I think is allright, But even the US goverment does not have any proof Huawei wrong doing, No concrete proof means it is a false accusation.

In which case the fault must lie with the Canadian justice system for not requiring proof before acting.
