By Moira Warburton and Sarah Berman VANCOUVER (Reuters) - Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou s legal team sought to admit more evidence contesting the U.S. government s account of her fraud case in a Canadian court on Monday, promising it was the final attempt days after the judge threw out similar evidence. Meng, 49, was arrested in December 2018 at Vancouver International Airport on a U.S. warrant for allegedly misleading HBSC about Huawei s business dealings in Iran and causing the bank to violate U.S. sanctions. She has since been fighting the case from under house arrest in Vancouver and has said she is innocent.
By Sarah Berman and Moira Warburton VANCOUVER (Reuters) - Canadian prosecutors told a court on Thursday that a judge was not best-placed to decide whether national security and geopolitical concerns can be used to strike down the request by the United States to extradite Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou. Meng, 49, was arrested in December 2018 on a U.S. warrant accused of misleading HSBC about Huawei s business dealings in Iran, putting the bank at risk of violating U.S. sanctions. She has said she is innocent and is fighting her extradition case from under house arrest in Vancouver. Prosecutors argued on Thursday that if Meng has become a bargaining chip in a trade war between the United States and China, as her lawyers have claimed, then Canada s minister of justice is the right person to decide that, not a judge.

SHENZHEN, China (Reuters) - Chinese budget phone maker Honor has signed partnerships with major chip suppliers such as Intel and Qualcomm after being spun off from under-fire parent Huawei Technologies in a bid to save it last year, it said on Friday.
Huawei had sold Honor to a consortium of 30 of the sub-brand s agents and dealers in November to help it resume sourcing components restricted by U.S. sanctions. As Chief Executive George Zhao launched its first phone model since the split, Honor said in a statement it now has its own deals with some tech firms. These include AMD, MediaTek, Micron Technology, Microsoft, Samsung, SK Hynix, and Sony.
