On September 24, Meng Wanzhou, a top financial executive with the Chinese telecommunications firm Huawei, returned to China after nearly three years of house arrest in Canada.Earlier that day, Meng had made a virtual appearance in a U.S. courtroom under a so-called deferred prosecution deal with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), under which she admitted to misleading the British bank HSBC about Huawei’s business activities in Iran.Meng did not have to plead guilty as part of the deal. If Meng adheres to its conditions, a U.S. criminal indictment against her could be dismissed in December 2022.Meng received a hero’s welcome upon returning to China, with her release framed as a diplomatic victory for the strong motherland."Huawei Technologies Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou waves upon arriving from Canada at Shenzhen Baoan International Airport
