Meng Wanzhou appeared in court when she made a bail after being arrested in Canada while traveling to Mexico.
After more than five hours of discussion, the court still had not decided whether to give her bail, and the hearing would resume in a few days.
If Huawei CFO cannot prove that the company has not violated US sanctions by selling telecommunications equipment to Iran, it could be extradited to the United States, where charges against it could lead to its 30 years in prison.

The daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei is accused of engaging in a “conspiracy to deceive several financial institutions” because she tried to convince bankers that the company and Hong Kong's former subsidiary SkyCom were completely separate organizations back in 2013. .
Lawyer John Gibb-Carlsi explained to the court how Maine committed fraud by saying:
“Ms. Meng personally presented to those banks that SkyCom and Huawei were separate, while in reality they were not separate.
The fact that SkyCom employees used Huawei email addresses and bank records connected the two companies together. "SkyCom was used as a proxy for business deals with authorized countries and worked directly with Iranian telecommunications companies."
Maine's lawyer, David Martin, tried to portray her as a passionate business woman and argued that she should be released on bail, saying:
“Wealth cannot be a ban on bail. Even a man with huge money can be released from custody in our great country. ”
We are likely to hear more about this controversial case when the court decides whether to extradite Maine to the United States, where she will face official charges.
