Not much information in the article. Interpol has issued a Red Corner notice, but ultimately it's the French and Chinese governments that have to find what happened.

Now let me get this straight. He was traveling from France to China, somewhere in the middle he disappeared.

What do the flight manifests say?

How about the security cameras at Airports, especially in China, where we have often heard what they allegedly doing with real time facial recognition and stuff.

For someone this high profile, there must have been security, staff etc. What do they have to say?

It's been two weeks since he disappeared. No alarm bells till now, at least the media.

I find this article to be very slim on details. There are some very simple questions not covered in the article. I guess they were in a hurry to publish this.

He didn't disappear in the middle. It was confirmed by the French that he arrived safely in China -

"The French official said Meng did arrive in China. There was no further word on Meng’s schedule in China or what prompted his wife to wait until now to report his absence."

> Interpol has issued a Red Corner notice

The article says they can issue one for a certain purpose, and it's not clear to me that this situation fits that purpose; it doesn't say that they have issued one.

Interpol can issue a red notice - an international alert - for a wanted person.

But it does not have the power to send officers into countries to arrest individuals, nor issue arrest warrants.
