Would resolving the Meng situation do much to move the needle at all? Given what appears to be an increasing systemic hostility towards the West more broadly and the U.S. in particular emanating from the very top of the CCP, it seems as though resolving this particular pain point would do very little to alter the trajectory of CCP hostility, and indeed might even be seen as yet another sign of weakness/"paper tiger" behavior on the part of the US, thus further driving the negative feedback loop.
