Trade Truce? Deal with China in 90 days?<\/p>\n

Think again on both counts: Canadian Authorities Arrest CFO of Huawei Technologies at U.S. Request<\/a><\/p>\n

A spokesman for Canada\u2019s justice department said Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Vancouver on Dec. 1 and is sought for extradition by the U.S. A bail hearing has been tentatively scheduled for Friday, according to the spokesman. Ms. Meng, the daughter of Huawei\u2019s founder, Ren Zhengfei, serves as the company\u2019s CFO and deputy chairwoman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ms. Meng\u2019s arrest comes amid a year-long U.S. government campaign against a company it views as a national-security threat. In the past year, Washington has taken a series of steps to restrict Huawei\u2019s business on American soil and, more recently, launched an extraordinary international outreach campaign to persuade allied countries to enact similar curbs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

U.S. authorities have suspected Huawei\u2019s alleged involvement in Iranian sanctions violations since at least 2016, when the U.S. investigated ZTE<\/a> Corp. , Huawei\u2019s smaller Chinese rival, over similar violations. The Commerce Department released internal ZTE documents that showed the company studied how a rival identified only as \u201cF7\u201d had conducted similar business.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cChina will see this as an escalation against Huawei and as an extraterritorial rendition,\u201d said James Mulvenon, general manager at defense contractor SOS International. \u201cThere will be tremendous domestic pressure in China to get her back.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Huawei is the world\u2019s biggest maker of equipment for cellular towers, internet networks and related telecommunications infrastructure. It is also the world\u2019s No. 2 smartphone brand.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some of America\u2019s closest allies, including most of the countries in the \u201cFive Eyes\u201d intelligence-sharing pact among English-speaking countries, have followed the nation\u2019s lead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
