Meng Wanzhou, CFO of major Chinese tech company Huawei, has attracted the world’s attention since her arrest in Canada at the request of U.S. authorities.

On Dec. 1, Meng was arrested in Vancouver on suspicion of violating U.S. sanctions against Iran. Meng, who is the eldest child of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei and was widely believed to be next in line to assume leadership over the military-linked company, is now a key figure in the increasingly tense Sino–U.S. diplomatic relationship.
