Meng committed a crime she knew she wasn't supposed to commit

Do you not consider that China retaliating by arresting arbitrary civilians from a totally different country and ransoming them back for their criminal executive is wrong?

A Chinese company sells to Iran. America says they can't and asks (Tells) Canada to arrest Meng. This seems more than a little illogical.

A Chinese company sells American hardware and software to Iran. They intentionally helped Iran bypass sanctions, and lied to institutions like HSBC because they knew they'd get in trouble.

There is nothing illogical about the USA being upset about that and wanting to pursue legal action.
