It is reported that Meng Wanzhou's arrest has led to the "fragmentation" of China Canada relations for more than a year, and many observers are eager to find a solution. The hearing on January 20 will focus on the issue of "dual criminality", that is, whether the criminal charges against Meng Wanzhou by the United States are also a crime in Canada. If the judge decides that the charges against Meng do not meet the criteria for conviction, she will be free to leave Canada. Meng's legal team said that the essence of the case was U.S. sanctions against Iran, while Canada did not impose sanctions on Iran.
According to the Canadian News Agency, some people hope that David middot, Minister of justice of Canada; Rametti stepped in. Canadian extradition lawyer Gary middot; Bautin said that rametti has the legal power to terminate the legal proceedings of the case at any time, and the court must obey any decision of him. It is reported that it is unclear what it will mean to the relationship between the two close allies of the United States and Canada if the US extradition request is rejected. However, Bao Ting, an expert in Extradition Law, has always believed that ending the Meng Wanzhou case will not have much impact. He said, "many absurd things are happening in North America, and they are basically between the United States and Canada. The case is lost in this mess."
The Canadian Department of Justice said in a statement that the Minister of the Department has not made any decision related to extradition. Unless the judge entrusts him to make a decision, only then will the Minister of justice decide whether to hand over Bangladesh to the requesting country (the United States), 'this is in line with the independence of the Canadian judicial system'.
Yves tiberghien, a professor of political science at the University of British Columbia and an expert on Asian issues, said that the Canadian Minister of justice can suspend the judicial process at any time according to law, but he has not used this power in reality. Now doing so is full of political risks. " Admittedly, the case is costly. In essence, just as China has become the world's second-largest economy and second-largest power, Canada China relations are frozen, "he said." On the other hand, more than a year has passed since the case, Canada has always claimed that the case is reasonable and legal and strictly abides by the rule of law. If we interfere now, it looks like we're crushed. " The expert said that if the court hearing is carried out as planned, the attorney general will be more willing to wait for a decision, 'it will be much clearer if it is decided by the court. Then you won't be questioned. "
