The (restricted) life of Meng Wanzhou

Meng Wanzhou, Huawei’s chief financial officer and the daughter of the company’s founder, has been staying at her luxurious six-bedroom house in Vancouver since being granted bail in December. And she has been allowed to go shopping or even travel to nearby Richmond, albeit while under surveillance.

Her conditions contrast sharply with those of two Canadian men detained in China in apparent retaliation for Ms. Meng’s arrest, a disparity that has touched on a nerve among Vancouver residents.

The Chinese authorities on Monday accused both men of espionage, ratcheting up tensions between the two countries, just days before a Canadian court is set to begin a hearing on whether Ms. Meng should be extradited to the U.S., where she is wanted on fraud charges.

In other Huawei news: The company is set to file a lawsuit against the American government for banning federal agencies from using the company’s products, according to two people familiar with the matter. The case could undermine the Trump administration’s campaign to shut out Huawei from the global market.
