Huawei executive arrested in Canada may be extradited to US

Canadian authorities have arrested the chief financial officer of Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei, on charges of breaching sanctions against Iran.

Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of the company's founder, was arrested in Vancouver and may be extradited to the United States.

Huawei has denied the company has breached any laws and has protested to the US and Canada.

Our Hong Kong correspondent Patrick Fok says the arrest could harm both US-China relations, and the international prospects of Huawei.
