House's motion unprincipled jingoism

The US House of Representatives' Canada-related motion once again proves that the US has no equal when it comes to employing a double standard.

As well as passing three Hong Kong-related resolutions on Tuesday, the House adopted a fourth resolution, praising Canada for arresting Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Chinese telecom giant Huawei in December, acting on a US request for her extradition.

At the same time, the resolution also condemns China for what it calls the "abusive" imprisonment of two Canadian men.
