Talking point: The Huawei chief financial officer and daughter of the firm’s founder was indicted in 2018 for allegedly misleading HSBC on Huawei’s activities in Iran. She was released in September 2021 after reaching a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. in which she pleaded not guilty to criminality. Under the agreement, prosecution was punted to December 2022, and would be dropped if Meng maintained good behaviour until then. The deal was expected to ease tensions between Canada and China—Beijing released Canadian detainees Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor hours after Meng’s release last year. But Ottawa’s ban on Huawei 5G and a public squabble between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Xi Jinping have shown enduring fractures.
