Vancouver | Huawei Technologies chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou failed to persuade a Canadian judge to end extradition proceedings, keeping her under house arrest in Vancouver as the fight against US efforts to prosecute her moves forward.

The ruling marks an early victory for US authorities but is likely to further strain relations between Canada and China. On Tuesday, China – Canada's second-biggest trading partner – called for Ms Meng's immediate release "to avoid continuous damage of China-Canada relations". Two Canadians, detained within days of Ms Meng's arrest in December 2018, also remain jailed in China.
