LettersHuawei’s CFO has been treated fairly by Canada. What about the two Canadians held in China?

I admire Canada’s stance on the case of Sabrina Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Chinese telecom giant Huawei. While Canada has acceded to the US’ request that Meng be held there pending a hearing on her extradition, she has in fact been subject to house arrest with full access to her lawyers and, presumably, all the comforts of a very pleasant home, entertainment system, and unrestricted access to news and communications.

She now has the opportunity to sue the government of Canada for violating her constitutional rights (“Huawei goes on legal warpath with twin North American lawsuits”, March 5). I very much doubt that the two Canadians arrested by China, possibly in retaliation, and now charged with spying, have been granted anything like such freedoms (“China accuses Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor of stealing state secrets”, March 4).

It seems to me that China is the biggest hypocrite in this situation and its constant whining about unfair treatment rings hollow.
