Huawei executive's next court date in Canada set for May 8

A Canadian court on Wednesday ordered Meng Wanzhou, the Chinese telecom executive at the center of an escalating row between Ottawa and Beijing, to return on May 8 for the next step in a long extradition process.

The chief financial officer of Chinese telecom giant Huawei, arrested on December 1, appeared briefly in the Vancouver court and did not speak to the media.
