An ex-officer with the People&#8217;s Liberation Army, Ren is one of the country&#8217;s most revered business figures.<\/p>\n<p>Meng is said to be a &#8220;rising star&#8221; at Shenzhen-based Huawei, the world\u2019s second-largest maker of telecommunications equipment.\u00a0 Reuters reported in 2013 that Ms. Meng served on the board of a Hong Kong-based Skycom Tech\u00a0<strong>that later attempted to sell embargoed Hewitt Packard computer equipment to Iran\u2019s largest mobile-phone operator.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Wanzhou Meng was arrested in Vancouver on December 1.<\/strong>\u00a0She is sought for extradition by the United States, and a bail hearing has been set for Friday,&#8221; Justice department Ian McLeod said in a statement to The Globe and Mail. &#8220;As there is a publication ban in effect, we cannot provide any further detail at this time. The ban was sought by Ms. Meng.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Wanzhou is facing extradition to the US on suspicions that she violated US sanctions against Iran (allegations that nearly resulted in a devastating Treasury &#8220;death sentence&#8221; earlier this year for Huawei rival\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2018-04-19\/china-hits-back-against-zte-ban-amid-rising-tide-anti-american-sentiment\">ZTE<\/a>). At least 13 pages of the Skycom proposal were marked \u201cHuawei confidential\u201d and carried Huawei\u2019s logo. Huawei has said neither it nor Skycom ultimately provided the HP equipment. HP said it prohibits the sale of its products to Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors in New York have been investigating suspicions that Huawei violated US sanctions against Iran since earlier this year. News of the probe was first reported in April. The G&amp;M adds that the probe is being run out of the U.S. attorney\u2019s office in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n<p>We seriously doubt the Chinese leaders will interpret Wanzhou&#8217;s arrest as a gesture of good faith and trust at a time when negotiations over a possible trade truce were expected to finally begin in earnest after a months-long standoff.<\/p>\n<p>To understand the magnitude of this arrest, just imagine how the US would react if Beijing arrested Jeff Bezos&#8217; (hypothetical) daughter?<\/p>\n<p>As investors digest the implications of the DOJ&#8217;s investigation, expect a kneejerk response where investors shoot first Thursday and dump shares of big Huawei suppliers, as they did with ZTE.
