The chief financial officer of Chinese tech giant Huawei has been arrested in Canada. She faces extradition to the United States.

Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Vancouver on December 1. In addition to her role as CFO, Meng serves as deputy chairwoman of Huawei’s board. She’s the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei. The US Justice Department sought the arrest as part of ongoing investigation. The Wall Street Journal reported in April that the US Justice Department was investigating whether Huawei broke US sanctions on Iran.

The Chinese company, which sells smartphones and telecommunications equipment around the world, has been facing increased examinations in the United States and other countries, where officials have warned of possible national security risks from using Huawei products. The United States is concerned that the Chinese government could be using Huawei’s networking technology to spy on Americans.

The Pentagon in May ordered stores on American military bases to stop selling smartphones made by Huawei and Chinese rival ZTE. The Trump administration urged America's friend countries to stop using Huawei telecommunications equipment. Over the past several weeks, New Zealand and Australia have stopped telecommunications companies from using Huawei equipment for their 5G mobile networks.

Huawei said last month that its equipment is trusted by customers in 170 countries and by 46 of the world's 50 largest telecommunications companies. “If a government's behavior extends beyond its jurisdiction, such activity should not be encouraged,” the company said. “Huawei firmly believes that our partners and customers will make the right choice based on their own judgment and experience of working with Huawei.”
