NEW YORK -- Lawyers for Huawei's chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou have traded blows with prosecutors in a court in Canada this week, hoping to have troves of HSBC emails admitted as evidence in the final committal phase of her extradition case.

The U.S. has accused Meng, also the oldest daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, of fraud and wants her extradited. Her fight to prevent that is approaching a potentially decisive phase, more than two and a half years after she was detained in Vancouver. She has been under house arrest ever since.
