HONG KONG -- The U.S. is urging Hong Kong to take extra steps to ensure the enforcement of United Nations sanctions on Iran and North Korea, in light of the territory's role in the alleged violations that led to the recent arrest of Huawei Technologies' chief financial officer.
Meng Wanzhou, who was released on bail this week after being apprehended Dec. 1 in Canada, is alleged to have been involved with a Hong Kong-based company that did business with an Iranian telecommunications group, in violation of U.S. sanctions.
