President Joe Biden gave a great gift to China on Friday when his Justice Department agreed to drop charges against Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou. The CFO will now return to China.

It’s a major concession to Beijing and its PLA-aligned espionage agency. One that appears to have earned no immediate reciprocity from Xi Jinping’s regime. According to the Wall Street Journal, the agreement entails Meng’s admitting wrongdoing in return for the dropping of U.S. wire and bank fraud charges against her. The Chinese official was arrested in December 2018 while in Canada. Since then, she has battled against extradition in the Canadian courts.
