The day that set the Michaels free

After 1,020 days in Chinese jail cells, the two Michaels Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor came home. Mere hours later, Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou arrived in Shenzhen, China, to deliver an emotional speech surrounded by fanfare.

Canada had started an extradition process for Meng in 2018 at the behest of the United States, which accused her of fraud. In an agreement struck with U.S. prosecutors on Friday, Meng pleaded not guilty but acknowledged misleading HSBC about Huawei's relationship with a company that operated in Iran.

Today, CBC News' Jason Proctor in B.C. explains that agreement. Then Errol Mendes, professor of law at the University of Ottawa,offers the geopolitical context.
