Meng Wanzhou, eldest daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, was arrested in December 2018.
Prosecutors accused her of committing fraud by lying to a US bank, which is a crime in both Canada and the United States. Otherwise, Meng’s case would continue on to a second phase in June, followed by more hearings in September. Beijing has signalled that her repatriation is a precondition for improved bilateral ties and its release of two Canadians detained on espionage suspicions.
Lawyers for Canada’s attorney general on behalf of the US Justice Department pointed to a 2013 presentation in Hong Kong in which she told HSBC executives that Huawei no longer owned Skycom and that she had resigned from its board. He also accused the US of abusing its treaty with Canada by asking it to arrest Meng as part of a campaign against China’s largest international company.Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for China’s foreign ministry, on Tuesday called Meng’s detention “a serious political incident”.
