** 3-Mar-2019 Canada's planned extradition of Huawei exec raises tensions

Canada announced on Friday that it will go ahead with hearings on the
extradition of Huawei exec Meng Wanzhou to the United States, based on
a series of harsh indictments that the US Dept. of Justice laid out in
January. The charges went far beyond theft of intellectual property
when a multi-year investigation revealed massive international bank
fraud by Huawei in order to violate US sanctions against Iran. As CFO
of Huawei, Meng is charged with masterminding this bank fraud.

Canada's Dept. of Justice explained the decision: "Canada is a country
governed by the rule of law. The decision on whether to issue an
Authority to Proceed was made by Department of Justice ... officials
who are part of a non-partisan public service."

However, China's Foreign Ministry issued a furious response:

Quote:> "The Chinese side deplores and firmly opposes the Canadian side's
> obstinately moving forward the so-called judicial process of
> extradition against Ms. Meng Wanzhou and has lodged stern
> representations.

> China's position on the case of Meng Wanzhou is clear-cut and
> firm. The US and Canada have abused their bilateral extradition
> agreement and arbitrarily taken compulsory measures on a Chinese
> citizen, which constitutes a serious violation of the legal rights
> and interests of the Chinese citizen. This is a severe political
> incident. We once again urge the US side to immediately withdraw
> the arrest warrant and extradition request for Ms. Meng Wanzhou
> and urge the Canadian side to immediately release Ms. Meng Wanzhou
> and ensure that she returns to China safe and sound."

China's use of the phrase "legal rights" has to be interpreted. China
is contemptuous of international law, as illustrated by its illegal
activities in Xinjiang Province, where it is conducting genocide and
ethnic cleansing of Muslim Uighurs and Kazakhs, and its illegal
activities in the South China Sea, where it is pursuing a massive
military buildup in violation of a United Nations court decision
declaring China's activities to be illegal.

So China's view is that international law does not apply to China, and
of course neither do Canadian or American law. The only law that
applies to China is Chinese law. And in this case, the relevant
Chinese law is the 2017 National Intelligence Law which, among other
things, requires Huawei and other companies to cooperate with the
military in gathering intelligence, and also promises to proect anyone
who does so. Article 7 of the law says:

Quote:> "All organizations and citizens shall, in accordance with the law,
> support, cooperate with, and collaborate in national intelligence
> work, and guard the secrecy of national intelligence work they are
> aware of. The state will protect individuals and organizations
> that support, cooperate with, and collaborate in national
> intelligence work."

So when China refers to "legal rights," it means according to Chinese
law. Since Meng's crimes -- stealing intellectual property and
international bank fraud -- were made in collaboration with China's
military, they're perfectly legal in Chinese law. Furthermore, the
same law requires China's military to "protect" Meng for cooperating
with the military.

China has already jailed two Canadian citizens in retaliation, and
they may take some other steps to "protect" Meng. What the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) officials, who are pursuing some of the
stupidest policies in the history of the world, do not understand is
that by arresting Canadian citizens in retaliation, they're making it
impossible for Canada to release Meng under any circumstances, since
any such act would be seen as giving in to Chinese extortion.

Canada will now proceed to the extradition hearing. Apparently, the
court proceedings could go on for several months, especially if Meng
appeals, and so this situation is far from over.

It's believed that Canada will almost certainly grant the extradition
request. Whenever that happens, China may then decide to retaliate
against the United States, in order to "protect" Meng.

Politically, this issue is being tied in with Huawei's international
public relations campaign to convince anyone who will listen that
Huawei has not installed "backdoors" into its devices to allow China's
military to spy on them and control them.

As I've said in the past, I've spent a part of my career as a senior
software engineer developing chip-level operating system software for
embedded systems, so I know exactly how any chip or any electronic
device can be turned into a tool for espionage. Furthermore, I can
tell you that not only is it doable, it's not even particularly
difficult for someone with the right skills.

This "backdoor" could not be detected by tests, because the chip would
work normally until a backdoor is activated by receiving, say, a
secret 1024-bit code. Then it will execute commands sent to it by
Chinese engineers. Thus, the Chinese are then in control of any
devices with Huawei chips, and it cannot be detected until it's too
late.

The National Intelligence Law, quoted above, requires Huawei to
cooperate with the military. Since nobody has gone to jail for
violating this law, we have to assume, since installing backdoors is
easy and undetectable, that they have in fact been installed. Based
on my experience in developing embedded software, and on my extensive
research on China, I am 100% certain of this.
