Meng Wanzhou

The case of Meng Wanzhou is not over yet. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, made the decision back in December 2018 to yield to the U.S. request for Ms. Meng's extradition. He treated it straightly as a legal case and said there would be no political intervention. But in reality, even from Day One, many people including myself, believe that it is not straightly a legal case. It was / is indeed very political. It is a serious matter which is very much both legal and political. ___________________________________________________ Justin said he had no regrets about Ms. Meng's arrest. This Meng Wanzhou case is a very tough one, but he would not go the easy way out by approving Ms. Meng's release. The Attorney General of Canada does have the legal authority to release her. ___________________________________________________ Canada got caught between two super powers, the U.S. and China. Justine unwisely accepted Uncle Sam's political hot potato. Ms. Meng is not a criminal. Her arrest in Canada is seen by many as a case of political kidnap and her being used as a playing chip of the U.S. against Huawei and China. Politically, Canada would side with the U.S. ___________________________________________________ Justin did the right thing, as he himself looked at the matter, but many people thought he did a stupid thing. He has damaged the many years of good relations between Canada and China.

US Election 2020

In 2016, I predicted that Donald Trump would win and he did. This time, I don't know. However, I think that if Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden, he would not concede defeat. There would be riots and chaos, even civil war, some said. The whole world is watching.

Steve Bannon and Miles Quo

Steve Bannon, President Trump's former advisor, was arrested on fundraising fraud charges in a US$35 million luxurious yacht in Connecticut. __________________________________________________ Guess who is the owner of the yacht? It is Guo Wen Qui [ 郭文貴 ], a.k.a. Miles Guo. Guo is the wealthy but corrupted Chinese billionaire businessman and fugitive wanted by the Chinese Government. He is an anti-Chinese-Communist-Party [CCP/CPC] activist and anti-China traitor. He supported the political riots and color revolution orchestrated by the CIA against China in Hong Kong last year. He got caught video talking to an anti-China HK political figure Leung Chung Hung [梁頌恒]，assuring Leung that he had close connection with high-level US political establishment [Bannon et al] and would provide all necessary political and financial support to bring down the CCP and to separate HK from China. __________________________________________________ Guo and Bannon have a close financial and political relationship against the CCP and China. Bannon is one of the China-bashing leaders in the US. He even remotely directed the political riots and color revolution in Hong Kong last year. __________________________________________________ Would Bannon go to jail? What do you think? __________________________________________________ Edi Lee for Peace *** Fast Edi Thoughts and Comments

China / US Tit for Tat

China's consulate in Houston, Texas has some 60 workers. Being forced to close it on short notice of only 72 hours, China retaliated by ordering the US to close its consulate in Chengdu. ___________________________________________________ In Hong Kong, the US consulate has thousands of workers. If you insist that a consulate is usually also a center of espionage, then you must say that the US consulate in Hong Kong is the super American spy center in the world. And it is. Since the National Security Law came into effect, I heard the number of staff members has been reduced. ___________________________________________________ There are 85,000 Americans living and working in Hong Kong. Besides the US consulate workers, CIA agents in HK would take the cover roles of being a teacher, journalist, news reporter, merchant, NGO worker, etc. etc. But you know what their real work is. Many Hongkongers would like to see the US consulate in HK closed. ___________________________________________________ Edi Lee for Peace *** Fast Edi Thoughts and Comments

To wear or not to wear?

To wear or not to wear? That's the question in fighting the Corona virus. Not only an issue of wearing a mask or not, just about any issue big or small would provoke American fights and arguments. ___________________________________________________ This used-to-be great country called the 'United' States of America has become very 'divisive'. It is no longer united. No thanks to Trump and his gangster-like but worse administration, America is not becoming great again. Instead, Trump is quickening the decline and possible collapse of the US of A. Trump is not making America great again. He with his China-bashing team has been trying to stop or slow down China's becoming great again. ___________________________________________________ Not only has the US become very divisive and unstable, so has the world. Whether you are in America or not, tough time is lying ahead. Take care! ___________________________________________________ Edi Lee for Peace *** Fast Edi Thoughts and Comments
