Huawei executive’s extradition hearing to start in Vancouver
Meng Wanzhou trial begins amid growing tensions between Canada and China
The closely watched case of Meng Wanzhou is due to start in Vancouver as the Huawei executive battles extradition amid growing tensions between Canada and China.
The hearings, scheduled to begin on Monday and last five days at British Columbia’s supreme court, will centre on “double criminality” – the legal notion that Meng’s extradition to the US requires her alleged actions also be considered a crime in Canada.
