dons tinfoil hat...

Chinese government unofficially encourages entrapment of high profile executives as bargaining chips.

Canada doesn’t like when one of their citizens is ensnared, applies pressure by upping the ante - holding a legitimate financial criminal from China.

China sees a game of chicken and ups the ante further - to “death” the ultimate expression of raw state power, intended to intimidate.

What happens next? I just hope no one dies.
