Huawei's Meng to 'resolve' charges in US court

Huawei Technologies chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou is expected to appear virtually in federal court to resolve US charges against her, according to a source familiar with the situation.Resolving the case would remove one of several major disputes between the world's two biggest economies.Meng was arrested at Vancouver International Airport in December 2018 on a US warrant that charged her with fraud for allegedly misleading HSBC about Huawei's business dealings in Iran.A spokeswoman for Huawei declined to comment. A spokesman for the US Attorney's office in Brooklyn declined to comment. An attorney for Meng could not be immediately reached for comment.Meng says she is innocent and has been fighting extradition to the United States from Canada. Meng is confined to Vancouver and monitored 24/7 by private security that she pays for as part of her bail agreement.Judicial hearings in her extradition case wrapped up in August, with the date for a ruling to be set on October 21.

HNA says chaiman and CEO arrested in Hainan

China's HNA Group, once one of the country's most acquisitive conglomerates, said on Friday that its chairman and its chief executive had been taken away by police due to suspected criminal offences.The company, which was placed in bankruptcy administration in February, said in a statement on its official WeChat account it had been notified by police in its home province of Hainan, southern China, that Chairman Chen Feng and CEO Tan Xiangdong had been taken."The operations of HNA Group and its member companies are stable and orderly, and the bankruptcy and restructuring work is progressing smoothly according to the law," the company said.A separate HNA statement on Friday said the company's Communist Party members were informed in a meeting that police had taken away Chen and Tan. Attendees were urged to strengthen the party's leadership in HNA.In the 2010s HNA Group, whose flagship business is carrier Hainan Airlines, used a US$50 billion global acquisition spree, mainly fuelled by debt, to build an empire with stakes in businesses from Deutsche Bank to Hilton Worldwide.But its spending drew scrutiny from Beijing and overseas regulators. As concerns grew over its mounting debts, it sold assets such as airport services company Swissport and electronics distributors Ingram Micro to focus on its airline and tourism businesses.In early 2020, after the COVID-19 pandemic paralysed travel demand, the Hainan government sent in a work group to HNA to help resolve its liquidity problems.Last week HNA said it would be reorganised into four independently operated sections, including ones for aviation and financial, and that all equity held by its old shareholders would be wiped out after the reorganisation.

Bitcoin plunges as Beijing steps up crypto crackdown

China's most powerful regulators on Friday intensified the country's crackdown on cryptocurrency with a blanket ban on all crypto transactions and mining, hitting bitcoin and other major coins and pressuring crypto and blockchain-related stocks.Ten agencies, including the central bank as well as banking, securities and foreign exchange regulators, vowed to work together to root out "illegal" cryptocurrency activity, the first time the Beijing-based agencies have joined forces to explicitly ban all cryptocurrency-related activity.China in May banned financial institutions and payment companies from providing services related to cryptocurrency transactions, and issued similar bans in 2013 and 2017.The repeated prohibitions highlight the challenge of closing loopholes and identifying bitcoin-related transactions, though banks and payment firms say they will support the efforts. Friday's statement is the most detailed and comprehensive yet from the country's most powerful regulators, underscoring Beijing's commitment to suffocating the Chinese crypto market."In the history of crypto market regulation in China, this is the most direct, most comprehensive regulatory framework involving the largest number of ministries," said Winston Ma, NYU Law School adjunct professor.The move comes amid a global cryptocurrency crackdown as governments from Asia to the United States fret that privately operated highly volatile digital currencies could undermine their control of the financial and monetary systems, increase systemic risk, promote financial crime and hurt investors.They also worry that "mining," the energy-intensive process through which bitcoin and other tokens are created by high performing computers, is undermining global environmental goals.Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, dropped more than 9 percent to US$40,693 on the news, having earlier been down about 1 percent.Smaller coins, which typically rise and fall in tandem with bitcoin, also tumbled.
