It is an amazing company. Today, because Huawei violated the sanctions Trump put on Iran, Wanzhou Meng - CFO of Huawei, was jailed in Canada and may be extradited to the U.S. This is the stuff wars are made of, everyone in China knows who this gal is and she's considered a national hero. It was a VERY BAD MOVE TO ARREST HER. Let's hope to GOD someone gains 1/8th ounce of sense and releases him IMMEDIATELY, this one is not a game folks, the Chinese are not going to take this sitting on their hands. This arrest was STUPID. Why did anyone need to make trouble with something as petty as what cell phone Iranians can have? Is that worth risking a world war over? Already markets have plunged with this news, DISGUSTING. http://82.221.129.208/.xw4.html Canadian officials arrest top Chinese Huawei official at Request of US DOJ by Joe Williams | December 05, 2018 05:39 PM Sign up for Daily on Defense Canadian authorities arrested the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies over the weekend as part of a U.S. probe into whether the Chinese telecommunications giant violated sanctions against Iran. Huawei’s Wanzhou Meng, who is also the daughter of billionaire founder Ren Zhengfei, was arrested Saturday at the request of American officials, the Globe and Mail reported Wednesday. **“Wanzhou Meng was arrested in Vancouver on Dec. 1. She is sought for extradition by the United States, and a bail hearing has been set for Friday,” Justice department **spokesperson Ian McLeod told the outlet. “As there is a publication ban in effect, we cannot provide any further detail at this time. The ban was sought by Ms. Meng.” The Justice Department did not immediately respond to request for comment. The federal government and lawmakers have charged that both Huawei -- the world's second largest provider of smartphones -- and fellow Chinese telecom firm ZTE Inc. effectively operate as conduits for Chinese espionage in the U.S. The Pentagon previously banned the sale of products from both companies on U.S. military bases. The Commerce Department earlier this year also imposed a seven-year ban on ZTE for breaching a settlement agreement reached in 2016 after the company violated sanctions against North Korea and Iran. That ban was lifted at the request of President Trump and after ZTE agreed to a number of terms, including an overhaul of its leadership team. The news of the arrest comes as Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping attempt to negotiate a broad trade deal to address key U.S. complaints like Beijing's theft of American intellectual property. The two countries reached a trade detente at the G20 summit in Argentina this past weekend, but administration officials say the White House is ready to impose new sanctions on another $267 billion in Chinese goods, as well as hike prior levies on $200 billion in goods from 10 percent to 25 percent, if an agreement is not reached within 90 days.  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/economy/canadian-officials-arrest-top-huawei-official-at-request-of-us Renewed trade tensions between China and U.S. triggered by the arrest of Wanzhou Meng, Huawei Technologies' CFO, is being used by the MSM as one of the key drivers for the sell-off in equities. Stocks Sink to Eight-Month Low on Trade, Rate Woes: Markets Wrap By Vildana Hajric and Jeremy Herron Bloomberg Dec 6, 2018 [snip] The sell-off in global stocks deepened, leaving U.S. shares mired in the steepest two-day slide since February and European equities at a two-year low as concern mounted that the rate of global economic growth has peaked. Oil slid as OPEC ministers met in Vienna. The S&P 500 has tumbled more than 5 percent in two sessions, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average shed almost 1,500 points on bets that the trade truce between China and the U.S. won’t last after the arrest of Huawei’s chief financial officer. Financial shares led the drop, as Treasury yields fell to the lowest since August with traders starting to doubt the Federal Reserve will raise rates even once next year as economic growth falters.  Financial markets remained volatile on bets that the trade truce between China and the U.S. won’t last after the arrest of Huawei’s chief financial officer. http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=112743 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-05/asia-stocks-set-for-muted-start-dollar-gains-markets-wrap Headlines With A Voice Published on Dec 5, 2018 DOJ Crushes China Trade-Truce Mere hours after Chinese officials finally affirmed President Trump's description of Saturday's trade 'truce' - this after fears that the true nature of the agreement might have been "lost in translation" helped trigger the worst one-day market sell-off since October ...
