And there is evidence that, by starving the company, it has begun to sharply curtail Huawei\u2019s profitability and much of its influence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">In an effort to control networks in Latin America and the Middle East, the Chinese government paid for the installation of Huawei gear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">Ms. Meng is the perfect example of this effort. Her determination to wire up Tehran, at a time in which the West was seeking to contain Iran\u2019s nuclear program, attracted protests among American officials. Some China hard-liners protested Friday&#8217;s news of the dismissal of the charges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">\u201cIt sends the wrong message to Chinese business executives around the world that it\u2019s permissible to engage in fraudulent transactions with Iran and North Korea,\u201d Michael Pillsbury, a Hudson Institute scholar and former China advisor to President Donald J. Trump, said that Pillsbury was innocent. \u201cI fear that another part of the message has been that the Biden team approved selling Huawei some types of chips and technology, which will also undercut the message that Huawei should not be involved in 5G telecommunications systems of our friends and allies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">Huawei waged a furious struggle in Washington and Canada to release Ms. Meng. But she refused to plead guilty to bank and wire fraud charges stemming from Huawei\u2019s deal in Iran. She reached a deferred prosecution deal, which eventually led to the dropping of all charges against her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">At the request of the United States, Canadian authorities detained Ms. Meng (49), in December 2018. She has two large Vancouver homes and was allowed to live there with an ankle bracelet that tracked her movements. She eventually settled at her gated, seven-bedroom mansion in the city\u2019s exclusive Shaughnessy neighborhood, where she received painting lessons and private massages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">She instantly became one of the world\u2019s most famous detainees \u2014 especially because she is the daughter of Huawei\u2019s famous founder and chief executive, Ren Zhengfei, a former People\u2019s Liberation Army officer who turned his small telecommunications firm into a national champion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since Mr. Biden took office, the United States has denied the company some, but not all, of the types of key chips needed for its equipment \u2014 leading the company on a drive for self-sufficiency.
