She was a C-suite executive of Huawei, not some random employee.

> Would you be supporting their right to detain arbitrary American businessmen for doing business with France? The same exact way you're supporting our detention of their nationals over Iran?

If an American company intentionally evaded sanctions and did something they knew China wouldn't like, and then a C-suite executive of that company traveled to China or an affiliated country and was detained, that would be entirely their fault.

I don't think you're making the point that you think you are.

I'm surprised! I thought you would be much more sympathetic to the American. Everyone's so outraged at arbitrary detainment of westerners.

I would apparently be more upset than you about it.
