The recent arrest of HuaWei senior executive manager may upend the trade truce between America and China. At the request of several U.S. authorities, Canadian policemen detain HuaWei CFO Meng WanZhou in Vancouver. She now faces a bail trial at the British Columbia Supreme Court.
The U.S. and Canadian governments cannot specify what charges Meng faces in the meantime, but her arrest follows reports that the U.S. Justice Department might have to evaluate whether HuaWei has violated American economic sanctions on Iran. The U.S. authorities now seek her extradition. This sudden arrest angers the Chinese Xi administration and so raises new doubts about the fragile 90-day trade truce between China and America.
Stock market investors need to watch closely for additional fallout. HuaWei makes telecommunication gadgets and smart phones and now orchestrates 5G wireless telecommunication networks worldwide. Meng is the daughter of the founder of HuaWei, which is a national champion at the forefront of President Xi's efforts for China to be self-sufficient in strategic technologies. While the U.S. routinely asks allies to extradite drug lords, arms dealers, and other criminals, it is quite rare for U.S. allies to arrest a major Chinese tech executive.
