Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou freed by Canada arrives home in China

A Chinese tech executive released after being detained in Canada for nearly three years has returned home.

Huawei’s Meng Wanzhou flew to Shenzhen on Saturday evening, hours after two Canadians freed by China had gone back.

In 2018 China accused Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig of espionage, denying detaining them was in retaliation for Ms Meng’s arrest.

The apparent swap brings to an end a damaging diplomatic row between Beijing and the West.
