Canada approves Huawei extradition, sparking ire from China

China has demanded the release of Meng Wanzhou, the company’s chief financial officer, who is in Vancouver under house arrest

Canada has approved extradition proceedings against the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies, prompting a furious reaction from China.

Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of Huawei’s founder, was detained in Vancouver last December and is under house arrest. In late January, the US justice department charged Meng and Huawei with conspiring to violate US sanctions on Iran.
