One of the most underreported news items recently. I don't think people understand how big this is. Meng wasnt detained in the US. She was detained in what is for all intents and purposes a western third party. If you can get detained in Canada, you can get detained in France, UK, Germany, etc.
The girl detained is basically a chaebol. One of the privileged few in China. If their movements are constrained, for instance like by the potential to get extradited to the US from any first world country, they can force Xi to make concessions.
Brilliant move and the next step towards the Trump-Xi brinksmanship. It will be intersting to see how China responds.
