7月25日，匯豐發表聲明，稱其對華為“沒有任何惡意”，也沒有“構陷華為”，但相關細節仍存在諸多疑點。2013年8月，孟晚舟與匯豐一高管在香港某餐廳見面，就華為在伊朗的業務和合規性做了説明，用作説明的PPT後來被匯豐呈交美國司法部，成為孟晚舟引渡案的關鍵證據。外媒披露的匯豐資料顯示，該會面是華為提出的。但有知情人士向劉欣披露，事情並非如此。真相究竟是什麼？誰在説謊？為什麼要撒謊？ 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。
