US stoops to new low with its dirty trick

Editor's note: Canada detained Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's global chief financial officer, on Dec 1, when she was transferring at Vancouver airport, as requested by the US judicial authorities, which claim Huawei violated US sanctions against Iran. Columnist Qin Shuo comments in a post:

The farce has jolted the stock markets not only in Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland, but also those in the United States. Which shows Huawei's influence. Huawei operates in more than 170 countries and regions, and provides services to more than 95 percent of the 50 largest telecommunication companies in the world. It has won global recognition except from the US government, which always looks at the corporation with prejudicial eyes.

It may be in accordance with people's expectation that the US cites security as a reason to block Huawei's products from the US market. But instructing its neighbor to hold a senior official of the company was a dirty deed by the US.
