Meng Wanzhou was released from legal detention in Canada after striking a deal with the US prosecutors over a bank fraud case
In what is being projected as a big victory for China's ruling Communist Party, Meng Wanzhou, the high-profile top executive of telecom giant Huawei who was detained in Canada for over three years, received a hero's welcome upon her arrival in Shenzhen on a special plane sent by the government on Saturday.
Meng, 49, deputy chair of the board of Huawei, its chief financial officer and the daughter of the company's founder Ren Zhengfei, credited the Communist Party of China (CPC) headed by President Xi Jinping for her release.
She was released from legal detention in Canada on Saturday after striking a deal with the US prosecutors over a bank fraud case that had kept her in legal limbo for nearly three years.
State television telecast her arrival live at Shenzhen airport on a special plane arranged by the government as officials, Huawei employees and health officials wearing Personal Protective Equipment suits greeted her.
