EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC
US to drop charges against Huawei’s Meng Wanzhou, allowing her to return to China

quote:

Canada’s Globe and Mail reported that the plea agreement does not include any deal that would release Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, who were arrested in China shortly after Meng’s detention.

oh man Canada is going to be pissed.

uhhh rocket fuel and kerosene according to wikipedia apparently

The organic solvent consists of 30% tributyl phosphate (TBP) in a hydrocarbon such as kerosene. Uranium ions are extracted as UO2(NO3)2·2TBP complexes; plutonium is extracted as similar complexes. The heavier actinides, primarily americium and curium, and the fission products remain in the aqueous phase. The nature of uranyl nitrate complexes with trialkyl phosphates has been characterized.[10]

Plutonium is separated from uranium by treating the kerosene solution with reducing agents to convert the plutonium to its +3 oxidation state, which will pass into the aqueous phase. Typical reducing agents include N,N-diethyl-hydroxylamine, ferrous sulphamate, and hydrazine. The uranium is then stripped from the kerosene solution by back-extraction into nitric acid at a concentration around 0.2 M.[11]

“This was always going to be a tricky case for the United States and, quite frankly, was a very aggressive move by the Trump administration in pursuing such a high-level person that not only exposed Canadian executives but put our own people at great risk,” said Brett Bruen, president of Global Situation Room, a crisis management firm. “And the benefit to our national security interests were marginal at best.

“I think this is a smart move to try and put this issue behind us and try to go to other US-China policy issues,” added Bruen, the former White House head of global engagement under ex-president Barack Obama. “This allows China to make other compromises while telling its folks at home that it got something.”

No see this is all perfectly fine and Trump was just an idiot but we saved face with this deal. Not a failure or a backfire in any way.

It probably tied to Canada having the election early. I wonder what kind of wrong doing she has to admit, it's been a sticking point of the dispute. Obviously it was discussed over on the Biden-Xi phone call. I wonder what US got in exchange of not prosecuting Meng.

I am sure the 2 Michaels will be released on unrelated reason soon.
