The international spotlight will be turned on British Columbia's Supreme Court this month as Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou's extradition hearing is set to begin, more than a year after her arrest shattered Canada-China relations.

The actions of Canadian officials during the arrest of Huawei Technologies executive Meng Wanzhou at Vancouver's airport were "not at all sinister" and followed their legal obligations, a Crown prosecutor says.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo slammed any suggestion that two Canadians being detained in China are on par with the arrest here of a Chinese tech executive at the United States' behest, firing a counter-punch on Thursday, August 22, 2019, in an escalating feud between Canada and China.

Canada won't back down in its defence of Canadians against an increasingly assertive China, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday, August 21, 2019, following another round of sharp criticism from the Asian country.
