They will just continue to employ "hostage diplomacy" in the future to try and get out of conforming to international law. Canada felt it did not have a choice. It had to follow international law and detain Meng based on the US request. China should not have been so arrogant in the first place thinking Meng would be above the law if she travelled to a country that abides by international law.

China should be embarrassed by its childish behaviour and apologize to the two Michaels.
