A Chinese technology executive held in Canada on US fraud charges has left the country after a deal with prosecutors, following years of diplomatic tensions over her fate.
Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Huawei, was detained on fraud charges in December 2018 at the request of the US.
On Friday, the US Department of Justice dropped an extradition request for her.
The judge subsequently ordered that she go free.
As part of the deal, Ms Meng agreed to a "statement of facts" admitting that she knowingly made false statements to HSBC.
The DOJ said Ms Meng had "taken responsibility for her principal role in perpetrating a scheme to defraud a global financial institution".
The DOJ also said said it was continuing to prepare for trial against Huawei.
DOJ: promise not to do this again? CCP operative: I promise (fingers crossed) DOJ: do you promise, promise? CCP Operative: oh, yes! I’ve learned from my erroneous way! DOJ: ok, I think we’re done here (leaves to Jack each other off) you can go home. CCP Operative: (Feigning meekness) oh, thank you merciful DOJ!
This makes me think of the South Park episode (chinpokemon) when the Japanese were going to reinvade and anytime anyone caught on they told them how big American penis is and how small their asian penis was.
