The extradition drama has been a central source of discord between Beijing and Washington, with Chinese officials signalling that the case had to be dropped to assist end a diplomatic stalemate.

Two Canadians detained by Chinese authorities just days after Meng`s arrest – Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor – were embraced on the tarmac by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after they landed in Calgary.

“You`ve shown incredible strength, resilience, and perseverance,” Trudeau said during a Twitter post with photos of him welcoming them home. “Know that Canadians across the country will still be here for you, even as they need been.”

In the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, Meng wore a patriotic red-coloured dress as she exited a plane to be greeted by well-wishers.
