If I can recall, the UK is tied tightly to Huawei across several industries, one including nuclear reactor&amp;#x2F;plant development that has been in on going for ages and involves packages of training lots of UK workers.&lt;p&gt;The podcast goes on to say that the UK is in a tough position because to break ties with any part of Huawei could have a chain reaction of cancellations&amp;#x2F;retaliations that could be extremely costly to UK in a time of uncertainty with Brexit and now covid-19. 
&amp;quot;Damned if they do, damned if they don&amp;#x27;t&amp;quot; was the general sentiment.&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.marketplace.org&amp;#x2F;shows&amp;#x2F;marketplace&amp;#x2F;what-weighs-down-gdp&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.marketplace.org&amp;#x2F;shows&amp;#x2F;marketplace&amp;#x2F;what-weighs-do...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

```
proxies conspired &amp;quot;to misappropriate intellectual property&amp;quot;, and Meng lied to HSBC bank.
```&lt;p&gt;Canada&amp;#x27;s legal agreement with US is that they work in accordance with US, for criminals that violated the laws at Canada. But there needs to be laws in Canada that are equivalent to US ones.&lt;p&gt;For example, if I committed murder in US, and fled to Canada, they legally are obliged to capture and send me back to US. But if I sell limited item to Iran, and fled to Canada, then Canada are obliged to send me back, because Canada does not have a sanction on Iran.&lt;p&gt;And this is why this action outraged a lot of Chinese, and worried a lot business people.</text></comment>
