Update: More details about Monday's hearing are beginning to trickle out as Canada expresses outrage over the fact that China just condemned one of its citizens to death, seemingly in retaliation for Canada's decision to arrest Meng Wanzhou, Huawei CFO and daughter of one of China's most respected corporate titans, at the behest of the US.
WSJ reporter Eva Dou tweeted details from the hearing that seemed to only affirm suspicions that the hearing was rigged for political reasons. The judge barely took time to deliberate over the verdict, the prosecutors didn't offer many new details to justify the re-sentencing, and the main and only witness - purportedly a co-conspirator of Schellenberg's whom Schellenberg says helped set him up - barely looked at the defendant as he shared details about how the two allegedly conspired to sneak a shipment of methamphetamine into the country.
