Huawei, the world’s largest telecommunication supplier, has been a flashpoint for the Trump administration’s trade battles with China.
Huawei’s chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou lost a major legal battle in her fight against extradition to the U. S. to stand trial on fraud charges.
In the Wednesday ruling, the Supreme Court of British Columbia found that the case against Meng meets a standard called «double criminality,» where the acts the U. S has accused her of are also illegal in Canada. The next phase of proceedings will begin next month.
Diplomatic tensions are rising as Meng, who is the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, will have to remain in Vancouver on bail during a lengthy extradition process.
