Huawei CFO returns to work after extradition drama

Published

on

Meng Wanzhou, CFO of Chinese tech giant Huawei, returned to work at their headquarters in Shenzhen after almost three years fighting extradition to the U.S. in Canada

The CFO was detained in Vancouver in 2018 after a New York court issued an arrest warrant, alleging she tried to cover up attempts by Huawei-backed companies to sell equipment to Iran – in breach of U.S. sanctions.

The years-long extradition drama has been a source of tension between China and the U.S, with Chinese officials signaling the case needed to be dropped to end a diplomatic stalemate.

“Over the last three years, although we have struggled, we have overcome obstacles and our team has fought with more and more courage,” Meng told employees at her welcome celebrations in Shenzhen.

Meng’s return also saw the release of two Canadian men who were arrested in 2018 shortly after her detainment

Meng was allowed to return to China after reaching a deferred agreement with New York prosecutors, which saw her accept “responsibility for her principal role in perpetrating a scheme to defraud a global financial institution.”

The U.S. Justice Department said the agreement pertains only to Meng, and that a case is being prepared against Huawei which will soon proceed to trial.

The two Canadians, businessman Michael Spavor and former diplomat Michael Kovrig, had been held in China for more than 1,000 days, after being accused of espionage.

Canada accused China of employing ‘hostage diplomacy’, by arresting the Canadian citizens as retaliation to Meng’s detainment.

Trump confirms U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear sites amid rising tensions; Israel intensifies operations, Iran vows to continue enrichment, and Houthi militants threaten U.S. shipping.


President Trump has confirmed that U.S. forces successfully struck three nuclear facilities in Iran – Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan – with all aircraft safely exiting Iranian airspace. The mission, involving B-2 stealth bombers, comes amid rising tensions over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Meanwhile, Israel has intensified its military operations, killing three top Iranian military leaders and striking a major nuclear facility in Isfahan. The Israeli chief of staff warned the operation may lead to a prolonged and complex war.

Iran responded by vowing to continue uranium enrichment and said talks with the U.S. are off the table unless Israel halts its attacks. In a parallel move, Houthi militants threatened U.S. and commercial ships in the Red Sea if American strikes continue in support of Israel.

Adding to the volatility, an Iranian drone hit northern Israel, with the IDF confirming the incident—though no casualties were reported. The U.S. State Department is now organising flights to evacuate Americans from Israel.

Trump announces successful U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, while Israel intensifies its military campaign against Iranian leadership.

In Short:
President Trump announced U.S. strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran, confirming all aircraft left Iranian airspace after the operation. Meanwhile, Israel ramped up its military actions against Iran, leading to warnings from Iranian officials and Houthi militants regarding potential escalations.

President Trump announced on Saturday that the United States had successfully completed strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

In a social media post, he confirmed all U.S. aircraft had exited Iranian airspace following the operation.

This military action was preceded by the deployment of stealth B-2 bombers from Missouri, capable of carrying the GBU-57 bunker buster, a powerful weapon considered effective against the Fordow uranium-enrichment facility.

Trump had earlier indicated to senior aides that he approved attack plans for Iran, awaiting Tehran’s decision on its nuclear program.

Meanwhile, Israel’s military intensified its operations against Iranian military leaders and nuclear sites, announcing the elimination of three senior Iranian figures and strikes on the Isfahan facility. Israel’s military chief warned of a potentially prolonged conflict, describing it as the nation’s most complex military undertaking.

In response, Iranian officials stated their refusal to halt uranium enrichment and indicated that negotiations with the U.S. would only occur if Israel ceased its attacks.

Additionally, the U.S. State Department announced the initiation of flights to facilitate the return of American citizens from Israel.

Houthi militants also issued a warning to target U.S. and commercial vessels in the Red Sea should American attacks in support of Israel commence.

Amidst this, an Iranian drone attack recently damaged a building in northern Israel, marking an acknowledged drone strike by the Israeli military during the ongoing conflict. No casualties were reported from the incident.
