Meng Wanzhou’s return route directly bypassed Alaska to prevent the US Air Force from intercepting and turning back. 2021-09-27 09:13 HKT
If flying from the North Pole, this route will pass through the North Pole, where the Russian Air Force can control it. Therefore, flying on this route, we can avoid direct contact with the United States. The United States has deployed a large number of fighter jets in Alaska, which will inevitably pose a threat to Meng Wanzhou’s charter flights. Of course, we are not saying that the US military will take down measures. This kind of thing is impossible. It is just to prevent the US military from turning back and adopting a tough threat of forced landing on the flight.
The route of Meng Wanzhou’s return to China has been basically determined. It is to take off from Canada, pass over the Arctic Ocean, then enter the sky over Russia, and finally land in Guangzhou, China. It can be seen from this route that it is not the Alaska route between China and the United States.
Under normal circumstances, flights departing from the United States or from North America to China usually take routes close to Alaska. This way, you can prevent the lack of fuel in the middle. Of course, this great circle route is also more fuel-efficient. However, when Meng Wanzhou returned home this time, he directly bypassed the airspace near Alaska and did not fly over the ocean near Alaska. This was to prevent the US Air Force from dispatching F-22 fighter jets to intercept halfway.
This is because the United States has deployed F-22 squadrons in Alaska, stationed in Alaska, and anti-missile positions in Alaska. Therefore, the situation of the route determines that Meng Wanzhou’s return route is impossible to fly from Alaska. He must fly from the Arctic route. Of course, it is not very fuel-efficient to fly from the Arctic route. A head-on conflict occurred. At the same time, this is a chartered flight from China. The purpose of this trip is to pick up Meng Wanzhou back home. As for which route to fly, all are based on safety considerations.

A great piece written by Patrick Rotcivz.
Escorting Meng Wanzhou’s entire journey:
After the charter flight left Canadian airspace, it was immediately escorted by 4 Chengdu J-20 Stealth Fighters in international airspace in the region of the North Pole right to the Russian airspace.
4 Sukhoi Su-35 Fighters from the Russian Air Force took over the escort role in Russian airspace.
4 Shenyang J-16 Multi Role Fighters then took over the escort once in Chinese airspace and escorted the plane all the way to Shenzhen Airport.
At the same time, when the chartered flight took off from Canada, the electronic reconnaissance ship cruising in the North Pacific turned on the strongest electronic warfare jamming mode, suppressing the North American Air Defense Command signal. At the same time, a Shang Class Nuclear Powered Attack submarine Type 093 also cruising under the North Pacific Ocean opened all the verticle launch ports for submarine-launched missiles, ready to fire any surface-to-air missiles at any time.
Without a strong country, how can there be a safe home!
The Sino-US trade war is the battle of Shangganling in the new era. Huawei has always been at the forefront, fighting bloody efforts to defend its home and country. Huawei is worthy of being a great national enterprise, and Ren’s father and daughter are worthy of being national heroes. It is worthwhile to escort it with the power of the whole country!

This is what I was advised. A bit different from your info.
