Huawei executive Meng seeks eased bail terms on virus fears By China Daily Thursday, January 14, 2021, 10:14 By China Daily Huawei Chief Financial Officer, Meng Wanzhou, leaves British Columbia Supreme Court with her security team, in Vancouver, Britich Columbia, Canada, on November 17, 2020. Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou ‘s husband Liu Xiaozong, speaking in English with the aid of an interpreter, testified on the stand that Meng is fearful of catching the coronavirus from her security guards, which were ordered by a judge for the duration of her extradition fight. He said she may be “at increased risk from COVID-19” because of her hypertension and past thyroid cancer surgery. […] Gary Botting, an extradition law expert, wrote in the National Post earlier this month that “if Meng admits to wrongdoing, she would have a criminal record and any number of countries (including Canada) could use this against her”. […] “Otherwise, even if Canada’s minister of justice orders her to be discharged, the US can go after her again and again, whenever she happens to land in a country with which the Americans have an extradition treaty.”
