Canadian Authorities: Huawei and Canadian

canadian authorities: Canadian authorities detained Meng on Dec. 1 during a layover at the Vancouver airport, according to CTV. The U.S. accuses Huawei of violating American economic sanctions against Iran. Relations were shaken by Canada's arrest of Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei and daughter of its founder. The Huawei case has threatened to complicate U.S.-China efforts to resolve a bitter trade dispute -- though the two countries signalled Tuesday they are preparing to resume talks. The detention came after China warned Canada of consequences for Meng's arrest. Heightening tension between China and Canada, Canadian Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale confirmed Tuesday that a former Canadian diplomat had been detained in Beijing. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
