So, the Canadian court has ruled on the law concerning the extradition request by the US Dept. of Justice that asked the Canadian Government to arrest the daughter of Huawei founder, who was boarding a plane for China in Vancouver when she was arrested and jailed. She was subsequently allowed to stay at home under detention while her case was under judicial review. Her lawyers will appeal this decision, but she might decide it's better to waive extradition and go to the US legal system and take her chances.
However, with the Trump White House taking a decide turn against the Beijing Government, her chances for a quick win are slim. In her role as CFO for the company it's hard to believe that she was not involved in the financial manipulations that sent funds to Iran for oil. Given her status in Canada, she probably doesn't want to leave the home she has had to occupy for the last 16 months. And, as the US turns the screws on Huawei, it's also probable that there won't be a Huawei in the near future. How to kill a company: deal with Iran when it's against international law.
