New York (CNN Business)China’s anger is growing over the arrest of a top Chinese tech executive wanted by the United States. What happens next will be decided Monday by a Canadian court.

Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou has been detained in Vancouver since December 1 and faces extradition to the United States. She’s accused of helping Huawei, one of the world’s biggest makers of smartphones and networking equipment, dodge US sanctions on Iran, according to Canadian prosecutors.

The arrest of Meng, the daughter of Huawei’s founder, has put a new strain on the tense relationship between Washington and Beijing just as the two sides are trying to negotiate an end to their damaging trade war. It has also highlighted the intensifying clash over technology between the world’s top two economies.
