China is demanding the release of telecoms giant Huawei's chief financial officer, who has been detained in Canada.

Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of the company's founder, could face extradition to the US.

She was arrested in Vancouver on 1 December, but the news was not made public at her request.

The charges remain unknown but the US has been probing Huawei over possible violation of sanctions against Iran.

If you think Trump isn't playing this game to win against the Chinamen, think again. This is a hardcore move against the little yellow bastards.

Looks like they are funneling tech and sensitive info to our enemies. We need to crush these creeps now before it's too late.

Be careful what you wish for on this one.  If we can have a Chinese citizen arrested in a foreign country and extradited to the US for violating US laws by actions not taking place on US soil, the Chinese can do the same to Americans for violating their laws outside of China.  And will, too, if the Canadians extradite her.

who loses more, us or them?

That goes for tariffs as well.

Guess what?  We win.

Yes, I wish it.

I guess that would depend on how important they think this person is, and how dead to rights we have her.

China throws their own industrialists in prison for doing things like using lead based paint on children's toys that got shipped to the US.

The Chinamen have been in a war with us for at least a decade. Trump is the first guy not to capitulate and start to fight back. If there is some collateral damage that is fine with me. We need to shut these thug creeps down before they get too many of these military systems on line and then we are screwed.

It looks like the Chinamen have been caught with their hand in the cookie jar.  The accusation is, I believe, she was sharing that info with Iran.

Are you talking about the hardcore move Navarro said the president knew nothing about?

Yeah. Reagan and Bush also didn't know anything about what Ollie was up to either. This thing went down at the same time Trump was having a face to face with Liu to give him the what for. I guess that was just a coincidence.

Funny you should ask, because Peter Navarro told Erin Burnett it was just that - a coincidence.

Of course he did. Our govt' has to set up plausible deniability because this is a BFD.

So, we’re supposed to believe Trump secretly directed this brilliant counter-intelligence DOJ operation, with a department that’s supposedly out to get him and corrupt from top to bottom, without tipping off the arrest subject or leaking to the press? 

It will be funny to read the comments about how the DOJ did this purposely, during the negotiations, to undercut Trump, if the talks don’t go anywhere.

Well, I for one believe Obama personally supervised the killing of Bin Laden.  Don't you?

I thought obama's eulogy for bin laden was very touching during the funeral at sea.

No, I will always believe he dithered on that and had his hand forced by Panetta. There’s no way you organize, order, and lead an operation that important and have to be pulled from the back nine at Andrews. The lost, forlorn expression on his face in the situation room during the operation says it all.
