– Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou arrived in a Vancouver court on Monday for the first of five days of hearings as her US extradition case resumed. This week’s hearings will focus on abuse of process committed by Canadian and US authorities during her December 2018 arrest at Vancouver International Airport, as alleged by her lawyers, per Reuters. The case has intensified diplomatic tensions between China and the two North American nations. Meng, 48, is charged by the US with bank fraud for allegedly misleading HSBC about Huawei’s business dealings in Iran, causing the bank to break US sanction laws. She denies the charges and is fighting extradition from under house arrest in Vancouver.
