Meng Wanzhou, CFO of the Chinese telecom technology company, Huawei, has not committed any crime in Canada;

Rather, she was arrested at the request of the US authorities on the grounds that Huawei violated Iran's penal laws, and working with the Iranian government indirectly through an affiliate company.

A Canadian court released Wanzhou on bail of nearly $ 8 million, with the imposition of home residency on her, and determining her movements in a limited geographical area with an electronic tracking device placed in her left leg to monitor her movements, so that she could not leave the country.

Wanzhou is not only a senior official among the managers of the Chinese giant;

She is also the daughter of Ren Zhengfei, the company's founder and former officer engineer in the Chinese army.

China and Huawei consider the accusations against Wanzhou to be politically motivated in a larger framework of the technological confrontation between the United States and China, and Washington's attempts to curtail the Chinese company and keep it away from its American counterparts.

In today's world, economic, financial, political and technological affairs cannot be separated from each other, and big companies cannot be separated independently from governments.

It is not known with certainty the size of the pressure of the American companies, which are competing with them strongly by the Chinese company Huawei, and they are interested in putting obstacles in the way of the company's technology reaching the US market or other countries' markets.

It is worth noting that the major American technology companies have a very strong presence in Washington, and its importance has doubled the reliance of these companies on major lobby and public relations companies to promote their positions within Congress, the White House and the media.

The war on Chinese technology is one of the most important features of the US confrontation with China, and the Trump administration has classified Chinese technology companies as a threat to US national security, accusing them of working with the military and the ruling Communist Party in China.

The administration of President Joe Biden is not expected to change this approach.

American intelligence personnel agree, regardless of party affiliation, that Chinese technological development is dangerous for Washington's interests around the world.

Washington has taken various punitive and protective measures against several Chinese companies, including TikTok, WeChat, and other Chinese technology companies.

Huawei has been banned from operating in America

The US National Security Strategy issued at the beginning of the Trump era explicitly indicated that China seeks to challenge Washington's power, influence, and interests, in an attempt to harm the security and prosperity of the American people.

The National Defense Strategy issued by the US Department of Defense in mid-2018 clearly referred to China as "a strategic competitor seeking to modernize its armed forces to ensure its regional control over the Pacific Ocean and South Asia, and to counter the global influence of the United States."

Many American commentators consider that the Cold War has already begun between Washington and Beijing, starting from the technological confrontation between them, and that only the worst in the coming years and decades can be expected.

Washington has taken various punitive and protective measures against several Chinese companies, including TikTok, WeChat, and other Chinese technology companies.

Huawei was banned from operating in America, and it was blacklisted to prevent it from importing American technology, and Trump issued an executive decision preventing private American companies from using Huawei equipment.

Americans' fear of Huawei’s control over the fifth generation networks stem from the possibility of user records and their basic data reaching the Chinese intelligence services, and penetrating the network by any party represents the possibility of manipulating and sabotaging the US infrastructure, or paralyzing it if necessary.

Washington also placed Huawei in the summer of 2019 on its blacklist of "suspicious entities," which hinders its business with US companies.

Firms on the US blacklist face significant challenges in obtaining biotechnology.

Because American companies are prohibited from selling to these companies unless they first obtain a license to do so, and the mounting restrictions on Huawei threaten to paralyze its business around the world.

Washington also calls on its Western allies not to use Huawei in connection with the fifth generation communication technology, known as "5G".

The fifth generation technology allows for the provision of high speeds for communications, which would cause a breakthrough in many fields, starting with the management of public facilities such as electricity, water and telecommunications networks, and ending with the methods of operating machines in factories directly remotely, not to mention the medical and therapeutic fields, the operation of self-driving cars, and the fields of Many other vitals.

Americans' fear of Huawei’s control over the fifth generation networks stem from the possibility of user records and their basic data reaching the Chinese intelligence services, and penetrating the network by any party represents the possibility of manipulating and sabotaging the US infrastructure, or paralyzing it if necessary.

US officials are pushing other governments around the world to impose restrictions on Huawei, under the pretext that the company provides its data to the Chinese government, and Huawei denies that it is spying for the Chinese government.

The Trump administration pressured Washington's allies to dismantle Huawei equipment from its networks, which led to the exclusion of Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Britain and other European countries, a wider group of Chinese Internet and telecommunications companies from Internet and communications infrastructure projects, and Japan had previously banned Huawei phones.

Huawei, and behind it the support of the Chinese state, announces the challenge of the American position, and expressed this in its reaching the first place in the world in the mobile phone market around the world after it removed through it the Korean Samsung and the American Apple.

The founder of Huawei expressed, during a rare press interview with the "BBC", his optimism for the future, and stressed that if Washington succeeds in persuading its allies to ban Huawei, there will be alternatives.

"If the lights go out in the west, then the east will light, and if the north gets dark then there is still the south .. America does not represent the world, America is only part of the world," said Zeng Fei.
