Meng Wanzhou, CFO of Huawei, was arrested in Canada on December 1, the day Trump and Xi marked a 90-day halt to trade wars.
US prosecutors insist that she should be held accountable for Huawei's evasion of Iran sanctions in the past and will likely demand extradition to US during the next 60 days.
China summoned the Canadian ambassador to protest the detention of a top executive, calling it "unreasonable, unconscionable, and vile in nature" and warning of "grave consequences" if she is not released.
Will this escalate China-US conflict to a new level and send ripples across economies? Is it likely she is going to be released, become bargaining chip on a China-US trade table?
Will the latest round of talks bring about new quality of relationships between US and China, or is it just a pit stop to reshuffle the cards and both will be at each other's throats once the clock runs out?
