On December 1, the daughter of the founder of China’s largest
telecommunications company was arbitrarily arrested and detained by Canadian
police in Vancouver on the pretext of a US extradition request.
The arrest has shocked and angered China while in Canada the large Chinese
population must wonder how safe they are. The simple fact that HUAWEI has
become a global competitor in the global phone market and their 5G phones
are cutting edge technology. The phone companies in, US, Japan, south Korea,
France, and Sweden are so afraid of the competition that they and their
governments have spread stories that the phones are loaded with spyware and
are “a danger to national security.”
The pretext for her arrest is that Huawei has violated US sanctions against
Iran. But the “sanctions” imposed on Iran by the US recently are illegal
under international law, that is under the UN Charter that stipulates that
only the Security Council can impose economic sanctions on a nation. The
latest American sanctions are not approved by the Security Council.
Sanctions imposed unilaterally by one nation against another are not legal
and are violation of international law. There is, therefore, no law that she
or Huawei is violating.
The Extradition Treaty between Canada and the US requires that the US inform
the Canadian foreign ministry of its request and send them the documents
supporting the request. The Treaty states:
“Extradition shall not be granted in any of the following circumstances:
When the offense in respect of which extradition is requested is of a
political character, or the person whose extradition is requested proves
that the extradition request has been made for the purpose of trying to
punish him (or her) for an offense of the above-mentioned character.
Canada has become nothing more than an outpost of the American empire.
