Huawei CFO’s Life on Bail: Private Dining, Jet Charter and More
- Hearing provides glimpse into Meng Wanzhou’s lavish lifestyle
- Meng asks court to relax bail terms as she fights extradition
For two years, few outside the inner circle of Meng Wanzhou have known how one of China’s most powerful tech executives has whiled away her days in Vancouver while battling a U.S. extradition request.
That was until a court hearing Tuesday provided some stunning insights into the Huawei Technologies Co. chief financial officer’s life of affluence while on bail. Meng spent Christmas Day at a restaurant that catered exclusively to her party of 14. When one court decision last year presented her with her first shot at release, a China Southern Airlines jetliner was chartered, ready to whisk her back to China (the decision went against her). She goes on shopping sprees at high-end Vancouver boutiques that set aside space so that she can browse in private.
