On March 1, the Canadian government approved proceedings to extradite Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou to the United States according to the Treaty on Extradition Between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America. This approval leaves Meng's future in the hands of Canadian courts until a legal decision is made as to Meng's innocence or guilt.
According the Canadian Ministry of Justice, extradition in Canada is guided by the Extradition Act, international treaties and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which enshrines constitutional principles of fairness and due process.
In short, this means Meng will face a Canadian judge, who will examine the merits of the extradition case. In this transparent and apolitical process, Meng's extradition can only occur if her actions are found to be criminal in both the United States and in Canada.
