The arrest of Meng Wanzhou was never meant to seem legitimate imo, the point was power projection. "Don't fuck with us."

I don't think the moral high ground means much in geopolitics. Power is way more important. "Better not curtail us, it'll make you seem mean..." This is the US we're talking about, known around the world for turning half the middle east into a desert. That's really not their primary concern.
