The Eyes of the World on the Arrest of "China's Bill Gates" - a podcast by CTV News

When Meng Wanzhou was taken into police custody at Vancouver International Airport, no one watching would have realized the move would lead to an international incident, with media from across the globe flocking to BC Supreme Court to see whether she would get bail. As one of the top executives of China's most high-profile technology company, Huawei, Wanzhou's supporters likened the move to the arrest of a Western tech titan like Bill Gates.

BTS with CTV Vancouver host  Penny Daflos chats with reporter Shannon Paterson about the wall of international journalists standing shoulder-to-shoulder with local reporters who found themselves covering one of the most unusual bail hearings Vancouver has ever seen, involving serious allegations of broken US sanctions that could see Meng face 30 years in prison, if convicted.
