Meng Wanzhou arrives home

Meng Wanzhou waves at a cheering crowd as she steps out of a charter plane at Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport in Shenzhen, South China's Guangdong province, Sept 25, 2021.

Through unremitting efforts of the Chinese government, Meng Wanzhou, the Chief Financial Officer of China's telecommunication giant Huawei, arrived at Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport on Saturday on a charter flight organized by the Chinese government. She will soon reunite with her family.

Meng reached a deal with the US Justice Department on Friday that allows her to return to China, according to media reports.

According to a statement issued earlier by one of the lawyers who represents Meng, she has not pleaded guilty. Meng will not be prosecuted further in the United States and the extradition proceedings in Canada will be terminated, said the statement.

On the flight heading home, Meng expressed her gratitude to the country.

"Without a strong nation, I would not be free as I am today," said Meng from the airplane, which is to land in China in a few hours.

"The road back home, though full of twists and turns, is the most heart-warming journey in the world," she said.
