Huawei executive faces fraud charges

The chief financial officer of the Chinese telecoms giant Huawei faces fraud charges in the United States, a Canadian court hearing has revealed, according to BBC.

Meng Wanzhou, daughter of Huawei's founder, is accused of breaking American sanctions on Iran.
She was arrested in Vancouver on Saturday and faces extradition to the US.

China has demanded Ms Meng's release, insisting she has not violated any laws.

The court is deciding whether or not to allow bail. Friday's five-hour hearing has now ended and the case was adjourned until Monday.
