Huawei – one Meng for two Michaels

Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, daughter of the founder, was released in Canada after a three year tug of war over financial fraud charges.  She agreed she had made untrue statements that put HSBC at risk in violating U.S. sanctions on Iran, but was allowed to formally plead “not guilty”. In return China released two Canadians  – a former diplomat turned analyst and an entrepreneur who had been held in what was described as hostage diplomacy.

  Meng Wanzhou, 13 February 1972, a determined Sun Mercury in Aquarius square Saturn in Taurus, has her Solar Arc Jupiter conjunct her Mercury at the moment for a morale-boost and moving to conjunct her Sun by 2023 for another high. When she was arrested in late 2018 tr Uranus just into Taurus was conjunct her Mars in Taurus, bringing a shock and high insecurity.

 Huawei, founded 15 September 1987, is moving through a confusing, indecisive phase till late 2022 with tr Neptune opposition the Virgo Sun and square the Uranus. But there will be a confident push nonetheless from March 2022 onwards till late 2023 as it underscores its presence as a major player, if not the major player, in the smartphone and domestic electronics market.

  1. This was quite a shock for Canada-China relations and is part of a general worsening of trade relations between the West and that economic superpower. China clearly engaged in hostage diplomacy, which is frightening foreign investors and trade partners. At least Canada, which got mixed up in this at the request of the FBI and paid dearly for its cooperation with its US neighbor by being caught between both superpowers, got strong support from Biden and other allies. Chinese papers are saying today that the two Canadians admitted their crimes and were released on medical grounds with no mention of Huawei or a Cold War trade of prisoners. Those men were held for over a thousand days on trumped-up charges with little or no access to lawyers or diplomats with lights on 24 hours, while the Chinese lady in Vancouver lived in a luxury home she owned and could buy the best Canadian lawyers. I hope she learned something about the rule of law and an independent judiciary. The time has come for containment of China, a strategy that worked well in the long term against the USSR but will be even more difficult this time. The next hurdle will be the Beijing Winter Olympics in February. It is doubtful the West will attend in light of the Uyghur genocide. Globalization could unravel bringing major economic problems. In Canada’s chart, transiting Uranus is now conjunct Pluto in opposition to Saturn in Scorpio. The last time this happened was 1939.
