The meeting follows the return to China of Huawei’s CFO Meng Wanzhou after nearly three years of house arrest in Canada on US allegations of bank fraud, sparking a diplomatic storm between the United States, China, and Canada, but although it is not there fully resolved, the return of the executive raised expectations about a possible improvement in Beijing-Washington ties.
