TOADYING UP TO CHINA

   Canada’s ambassador to China caused a furor Wednesday for speculating on how a Chinese executive detained in Canada could avoid extradition to the United States.

John McCallum, a former immigration minister, opined in a meeting with Chinese-Canadian journalists on Tuesday in a Toronto suburb that Huawei Technologies CFO Meng Wanzhou has a good defence.

His description of the “strong arguments” Meng’s lawyers could make represent a marked departure from the Canadian official position to allow the case to proceed without political interference and caused some to question whether he should remain as ambassador.
