Is the US trying to exercise extra-territoriality over the kidnapping of Huawei's CFO, Meng Wanzhou. If so it is just foolish and wishful thinking. The kidnapping of Meng Wanzhou is an act of banditry which must be strongly denounced and condemned by the whole civilize world.
The kidnapping of Meng Wanzhou is a criminal banditry act which will have far reaching and far ranging worldwide disastrous consequences and implications not only for China and the Chinese people but also for all countries which value freedom, independence and full sovereignty of their countries.
Meng Wanzhou should be freed without conditions. failing which China is obliged to complement the precedent set by USA and all Americans and its western allies will face similar predicaments not only from China but also from other countries which have been bullied by US and have been the target of US illogical illateral sanctions.
USA, a rogue and thuggery country must seriously take note, China and the Chinese people will not be humiliated again to be subjected to US practise of extraterritorial legality.
From the Opium Wars of 1830s to 1940s , a dark age in Chinese history. China was attacked, invaded and occupied by many European countries viz England, France, Russia, Germany, America and Japan. Each of the invading country subjected China to great shameful intolerable humiliations. They each and every one imposed on China a punishing war indemnity where China was forced to pay to each of the occupying powers hundreds of millions of silver dollars . ( In today's value it is worth a few thousand billions of dollars ). This served to impoverish China and the Chinese people for over a hundred years until 1049 when the Peoples Republic of China stopped the payment.
The British, France, Russia, Germany, America, Italy, Holland and Japan occupied large areas of Chinese lands in the coastal ports of Shanghai, Ning Po, Dairen ( Port Arthur ), Canton , Amoy and others. In these ports and other occupied areas they exercised extra territorial rights . They collected all the revenues, taxes, duties, port dues and deprived the Chinese government of any revenues at all.This further impoverish China in conjunction to the war indemnities.
In the occupied areas the Westerners were not subjected to Chinese laws. Also Chinese people in occupied areas were subjected to foreign laws and not Chinese laws. Thus when westerners or Chinese commit crimes they could just escape to foreign occupied areas and escaped punishment from Chinese jurisdiction.
The most humiliating part was when they carved up China and divided China among themselves as their sphere of influence and insultingly called it "the cutting of the Chinese water melon." They detached large swathes of Chinese lands and incorporated or annexed them to British India ( now the cause of border trouble between China and India )and Burma, to France Indo-China and to Russia's Far East ( mostly taken from China ), and to Japan which occupied Liu Chiu Dow ( which the Japs renamed Okinawa ) and Taiwan.
Now, in the case of Huawei and Meng Wanzhou US thinks it can exercise extraterritoriality over a Chinese citizen and thereby over China. US must stop thinking foolishly that China will allows its citizen who has not committed any crime or breach any US laws to be kidnapped to be tried in USA. It is wishful thinking if it thinks it can fix Huawei or Meng Wanzhou and thereby exercise extraterritoriality against China.
USA has run foul of the rules of international laws. It has defied United Nations ruling under United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 which calls on all countries to drop sanctions on Iran as part of the 2015 Nuclear Agreements. Yet the recalcitrant USA is alone in defiance of the resolution and rejects the Security Council's role in such matters.
The kidnapping of Meng Wanzhou is illegal, unlawful and extremely provocative. Here I quote Professor D. Sachs of Columbia University
"When global trade rules obstruct USA gangster tactics, then the rules have to go according to Trump."
"The unprecedented arrest of Meng is even more provocative because it is based on US extraterritorial sanctions, that is the claim by US that it can order other countries to stop trading with third parties such as Cuba or Iran. US would certainly not tolerate China or any other country telling US companies with whom they can or cannot trade."
"US has no right to unilaterally sanction Huawei base only on US rules. It should be based on agreements according to United Nations Security Council if there is a case."
"The Trump administration, not Huawei or China is today's greatest threat to international rule of law and therfore to global peace."
The implications of Huawei-Meng Wanzhou's case is that if US is allowed to kidnap a Chinese citizen and hold a China's top company to ransom and get away with it , that would mean US rules and laws can be applied on any Chinese or any Chinese firms be it whether they are domiciled in China or outside China. That would be acceding to US extraterritoriality . It would mean US rules and laws supercede Chinese rules and laws even in China. Ultimately that means China will lose its independence as a sovereign nation and come under US rule and dominance.
In this 21st century if US still thinks it can exercise extraterritoriality on China or any other country it is foolish and wishful thinking for it would be tantamount to declaration of war.
China should not take chances but must be fully prepared for all out war against a desperate rogue evil empire
Let other countries big or small be aware if the rogue evil empire dares to commit travesty with a powerful China now, what chances have they if one day US turns against them and exercise extraterritoriality against them base on flimsy fabricated reasons as in the case of Huawei-Meng Wanzhou as well as bullies under illateral US sanctions on many other countries like, Iran, Cuba, Venezuella, Turkey, Cambodia and many more others.
It is time for all other countries on earth to wake up to the evil intent of the rogue US which intends to bring the whole world of all countries under its abominable dominance and total hegemony. People of the world and of all countries must unite to defend and uphold their independence and sovereignty and destroy the Evil Empire before it can destroy the beautiful world on earth.

The Evil Empire is rotting and is rotting very fast. It already has one leg in the coffin. How long can it last? It will die faster if it creates more wars and troubles in this world.
ReplyDeleteHow come no big mouth politician dare to say anything about the kidnapping of Meng Wanzhou? No condemnation because the white masters can do no wrong?
ReplyDeleteWhere are the eager beavers standing up to condemn their white masters for breaking the rule of law, being lawless in seizing a citizen of another country that did not commit any crime?
Why are the leaders of ASEAN so quiet? The Evil Empire has brazenly and blatently gone berserk in braking international rules and laws in a banditry act of kidnapping an innocent Chinese citizen. This should concern every decent country in this world especially to ASEAN because the crime is committed in ASEAN's neighbourhood. Where are the voices that called for China to follow the fake international rule during the South China Sea saga some years back. Or is it fear of 'might is right' of the evil empire.
ReplyDelete///Why are the leaders of ASEAN so quiet?///
ReplyDeleteThey are all busy buying war stocks & war toys.
It is very clear USA and Canada violate international law with the wrongful and illegal arrest of Huawei's CFO, Meng Wanzhou. If Meng Wanzhou is not released there will be dire consequences and ASEAN would suffer collateral damage if it continues to keep quiet. At least ASEAN some say something to condemn the cowardly dastardly act of the Evil Empire.
ReplyDeleteUSA modern gunboat policy is the twin evils of using its over a thousand military bases and the weaponized PatroDollar cum sanctions as a modern practise of exercising extraterritoriality to achieve world domination and hegfemony. China and Russia must quickly take down the PatroDollar to stop the evil empire from committing further wars and troubles.When the evil empire is deprived of the PatroDollar it would be unable to extort money from every country in the world through illegal and indiscriminate sanctions. America would then become as poor as any poor third world countries.
ReplyDeleteThe first and second world wars started due to similar scenarios. They started by a third party as a proxy to spark the conflict. Then the Evil Empire moved in "reluctantly" as "champion" for humanity to save the world.
ReplyDeleteAmerica is a mad lunatic society incapable of differentiating what is right and wrong, truth and lies. American politicians and statesmen or senators are rogues, crooks and scoundrels who constantly create all sorts of imaginary stories and lies to justify the government's position against imaginary enemies. They adopt a policy of treating whatever other countries do as a threat to their security. When US experts are invited to give talks at Chinese universities they invariably twisted to lectures about China stealing trade and intellectual secrets which pose a threat to US security although they do not provide solid evidence. Similarly national security can be used to justify the imposition of tariffs. Everything done by the imaginary enemy is twisted into threats to US national security. China's Belt and Road infrastructure is a threat to US security. China's trading with Africa and South America is a threat to the US. Russia selling gas and oil to Europe is a threat to US. China building up facilities in China's South China Sea islands is a threat to US Security. Countries fighting terrorists supported and funded by US to get rid of the terrorists to recover their own sovereign country is a threat to US. Iran complying with JCPOA is a threat to US. There is no end to the list.
ReplyDeleteThe entire US government and the two major political parties, The Republicans and The Democrats show similar traits of suffering from a psychical hysteria, paranoia and hubris aggravated by their delusional sense of exceptionalism.
US thinks of its own security. Do the Americans ever think of other peoples and other countries security. The ugly Americans are simply too arrogant and want to hold the world to ransom to their objective of holding every country in the world under their abominable dominance and hegemony.

ReplyDelete@ war hawks always hoping for war………….me too, blood in the streets means “value opportunity” 🤑🤑
ReplyDeleteNo war lah. Highly unlikely. Firstly, China WILL NEVER fire the first shot.
Secondly, Trump might be a lot of things---like the biggest blowhard the world has seen for awhile. But he is NOT a war hawk. In fact, he knows how expensive wars are. Trump Inc also owns many developments all over the fucking world, which depend on PEACE to make money. In a war, these developments are at risk of being destroyed. Trump Inc lose money. Fuck that!! At the end of the day, EVERYONE is motivated by SELF INTEREST.
The Five Eyes are going to continue to poke China. But really folks, consider the CONTEXT. Do you really believe that an annoying incident like this is in any way going to DERAIL China’s foray into rapid economic expansion and becoming THE global economic power? Give me a break lah. This shit is small titties compared with the really serious long-term Big Picture.
