7月25日，汇丰发表声明，称其对华为“没有任何恶意”，也没有“构陷华为”，但相关细节仍存在诸多疑点。2013年8月，孟晚舟与汇丰一高管在香港某餐厅见面，就华为在伊朗的业务和合规性做了说明，用作说明的PPT后来被汇丰呈交美国司法部，成为孟晚舟引渡案的关键证据。外媒披露的汇丰资料显示，该会面是华为提出的。但有知情人士向刘欣披露，事情并非如此。真相究竟是什么？谁在说谎？为什么要撒谎？ HSBC released a statement on Saturday， saying HSBC was not involved in the decision by the U.S。 Department of Justice to investigate Huawei and it does not have any hostility towards Huawei， adding that it did not “frame” or “set traps to ensnare Huawei。” On August 22， 2013， Meng Wanzhou met with a senior HSBC executive in a restaurant in Hong Kong。 During the meeting， she made a presentation about Huawei‘s business links in Iran and its efforts to comply with U.S。 sanctions。 The U.S。 claims that the presentation is the key evidence of its allegations of fraud against the tech giant’s CFO， who is undergoing an extradition trial in Canada。 According to Reuters， an internal probe by HSBC found the meeting was initiated by Huawei。 Is this the full story？ CGTN‘s Liu Xin spoke to a person in the know who says otherwise。
