The release of Meng Wanzhou, the CFO of Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei, to China has been used by the CCP’s media to launch a wave of anti-U.S. propaganda and to promote Meng as a “national hero” against the United States in Chinese schools and kindergartens.

After reaching a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Justice Department, Meng took a chartered flight back to China on Sept. 24.
