Rena Li - Judge doesn't 'understand' US allegations against Huawei CFO

The US allegations against Meng Wanzhou are unclear, a Canadian judge said during the Huawei executive's extradition hearing.

Asking how the US addressed the allegations in the record of the case (ROC) supplied to Canadian authorities, Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes of the British Columbia Supreme Court — who will decide whether or not Meng can be extradited to the US — said Wednesday that it was difficult to understand the allegations.

The meeting between Meng and HSBC was arranged after Reuters published articles suggesting Skycom, which it said had "close ties" with Huawei, was violating sanctions. Holmes expressed "skepticism" several times that HSBC was truly put at risk by Meng's presentation after it received a clear warning of sanctions violations in the Reuters reports, according to The Globe and Mail.

And we were hoping that the Biden administration would send a signal to Canada on how to dispose of this case.
