「在美國新增的11家制裁實體中,Proven Glory Capital 和 Proven Honor Capital 正是華為的兩家美元債券發行人。根據 2020 年 11 月在香港證券交易所提交的文件,華為創始人任正非的女兒孟晚舟就是這2個基金的董事。⋯

⋯ 華盛頓風險評估公司RWR的高級分析師 Claire Chu 表示,這表明美國政府越來越傾向採取資本市場制裁,並從國家安全的角度利用這種經濟槓桿來對抗中國,美元債券市場可能會被華盛頓選為下一個戰場。」

「美國司法部律師凱斯勒(David Kessler)在紐約布魯克林聯邦法院舉行的聽審上表示,美國政府同意暫緩起訴孟晚舟直到2022年12月1日,如果她遵守協議中的條件,屆時將會撤銷對她的指控罪名。凱斯勒並進一步建議,讓孟晚舟保釋。」

驚訝於原來碗粥案除了公開的加拿大兩名人質外, 還有兩名無法離開韭國的隱形美國人質被釋放:

"A State Department official confirmed that the Massachusetts siblings, both in their 20s, returned to the U.S. on Sunday after more than three years of being subject to a vague “exit ban” from China. The pair had faced no allegations of wrongdoing in the country and were free to move around China, just not leave it.

The official said that the U.S. welcomes their return, that consular officials in Shanghai handled the matter and that the U.S. opposes the use of coercive exit bans. The official said the U.S. would continue to advocate on behalf of all American citizens in China subject to such bans and arbitrary detentions."

WSJ對碗粥案的結論簡潔有力:

"The Biden Administration wants better relations with China, which has been bullying U.S. envoys and refusing to cooperate on climate change (which seems to be President Biden’s main foreign-policy priority). The Huawei case looks like collateral damage in a diplomatic repair effort.

The release of Messrs. Spavor and Kovrig is good news. But China, and the rest of the world, will get the message that the coercive diplomacy of hostage-taking gets results."
