Huawei's Meng Back In Court In Canada

A top Huawei executive at the centre of a diplomatic row appeared in a Canadian court for a bail review on Tuesday, a day after the US unveiled sweeping charges against her and the Chinese tech giant.

Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer and the daughter of its founder, was indicted along with Huawei and two affiliates in a case related to alleged Iran sanctions violations that has inflamed tensions with China.

She was arrested at Washington's request on December 1 as she changed planes in Vancouver, and was later released on bail pending a decision on extradition to the US.

Tuesday's court hearing was to review whether she is abiding by the terms of her bail, and to substitute one of the sureties in her bail order.

According to local media, the courtroom was cleared while Meng updated the surety paperwork and the judge considered the swap request.

The judge also moved the start of her extradition hearing to March 6, a month later than previously scheduled, local reporters said on Twitter. (AFP)
