This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.FILE - In this Sept. 30, 2019, file photo, former National security adviser John Bolton gestures while speakings at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. A federal judge has ruled, Saturday, June 20, 2020, that former national security adviser John Bolton can move forward in publishing his tell-all book.

“It took a lot of effort to explain that Huawei and people involved in Huawei had committed financial fraud in very serious respects -- regarding violations of U.S. sanctions against Iran -- and that if this were an American company, we would have been prosecuting them very vigorously,” he said. “So this was not anything directed in an anti-China mode, or even anti-Huawei for that matter, although I do think Huawei is effectively an arm of the Chinese state.

Mr. Bolton recalled in his memoirs that at a 2018 White House Christmas dinner, the President turned to him and said: “‘Do you realize you arrested the Ivanka Trump of China?’ and I thought to myself, ‘Gee, I never knew Ivanka was a spy.‘” “What bothered me was the President’s tendency to get involved in criminal prosecutions to give effectively personal favours to dictators he was trying to improve his relationship with, and I just think that is just a mistake, and it calls into question the evenhandedness of U.S. law enforcement,” he said.Mr. Bolton lauded the Trudeau government for honoring its obligations under the extradition treaty with the United States; and he accused Beijing of acting like an international bully.
