Last year, Chinese tech giant Huawei was accused of stealing sensitive data. However, the repercussions of the scandal are still tangible. Recently, the Supreme Court of British Columbia extended the hearing on the extradition of Huawei's executive Meng Wanzhou to the United States. In the last hearing, judges ruled that Meng is responsible for double criminality. Supreme Court Justice Heather Holmes declared that the alleged actions of Meng would be considered a crime in Canada. This is a key condition for extradition to proceed. Meng Wanzhou was arrested on a US warrant in December 2018 and was released on $10-million bail. She must wear a GPS ankle-bracelet and pay for her own guards. At first glance, it may seem an ordinary trial with a representative of a commercial company denying charges of espionage for the Chinese government. However, this trial has turned into a political one where each party has its own interests. China was infuriated with the results of the last hearing. China’s embassy expressed strong disagreement with the court's decision, calling the Meng case "a grave political incident." "The United States and Canada, by abusing their bilateral extradition treaty and arbitrarily taking forceful measures against Ms. Meng Wanzhou, gravely violated the lawful rights and interests of the said Chinese citizen," the embassy said.
