Meng Wanzhou: Huawei executive suffers US extradition blow
A Canadian court has ruled that the case of senior Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, who is fighting extradition to the United States, can go forward.
A judge found that the case meets the threshold of double criminality - meaning the charges would be crimes in both the US and Canada. The US wants Ms Meng to stand trial on charges linked to the alleged violation of US sanctions against Iran. Her case has created a rift between China and Canada. Her lead defence lawyer, Richard Peck, has argued in court that Canada is effectively being asked "to enforce US sanctions". But Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes ruled Wednesday in British Columbia's Supreme Court in Vancouver that the crimes she is charged with in the US would also have been crimes in Canada in 2018. -
Googlers can start returning to work July 6, but on limited basis
Search giant Google will start welcoming employees back to offices beginning July 6 but on a volunteer and limited basis.
"This will give Googlers who need to come back to the office – or, capacity permitting, who want to come back – the opportunity to return on a limited, rotating basis (think: one day every couple of weeks, so roughly 10 percent building occupancy)," wrote Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai in a Tuesday blog post. Alphabet is the parent company of Google. "We’ll have rigorous health and safety measures in place to ensure social distancing and sanitization guidelines are followed, so the office will look and feel different than when you left. Our goal is to be fair in the way we allocate time in the office while limiting the number of people who come in, consistent with safety protocols." -

We have ongoing sanctions against Iran. China does not. Are we trying to hold someone from another country, who has different policies than we do, to our own laws?
So she was just traveling and identified as a Huawei executive and accused of a crime which is selling to Iran which is not illegal in her country but just ours?
I know I am naive politically but this seems rediculous. I have not had time to read the article yet either btw.

Correct.

Almost. What is key here is that it is also criminal in Canada. So by both Canadian and US law, she's responsible for what is considered an international crime in both jurisdictions.

But mostly the U.S. President is trying to bullshit the world on Huawei hardware, because politics.

Oh of course, just trying to explain why Canada felt that they could do it.
