Huawei’s Meng Wanzhou ‘to be freed’ in US deal

A Chinese technology executive held in Canada on US fraud charges could be freed as early as Friday after the US government said it would submit a “resolution” to the case against her.

Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Huawei, was detained in December 2018 at the request of the US.

She is expected to make a virtual appearance in a US court shortly.

The case sparked an international row, straining China’s relations with the US and Canada.

It has been the subject of intense negotiations between US and Chinese diplomats.
