Welcome back home!On Sept 25, 2021, Huawei's Chief Financial Officer (首席财务官) Meng Wanzhou, 49, arrived in Shenzhen, Guangdong, after being illegally held for nearly three years in Canada, Xinhua reported.
"After more than 1, 000 days of suffering (痛苦), I finally returned to the motherland, " Meng said after she got off the plane. She described the motherland, the Party and the government as the shining light that led her on the long journey home.
About three years ago, Meng was held in Canada because the US charged (指控) her with fraud (欺诈). The US wanted to take her to the US for trial (审讯). Meng pleaded not guilty (不认罪) to the charge and finally was free to leave Canada on Sept 24 local time.
"This is a political (政治的) case trying to break Chinese high﹣tech companies. " Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said on Sept 25. Meng's safe return shows that the Chinese government has the will and ability to protect the rights of Chinese people and companies, according to Hua.
"A strong China under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China will always be the strong backing of each one of us, " said Hua. She added that China's development will not be stopped by any force.
