Huawei Technologies Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou leaves her home to attend a court hearing in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on Nov 23, 2020. OTTAWA: Canada could see the end of a nasty diplomatic dispute with China if the United States reaches a deal to release a Huawei executive from house arrest in Vancouver, but the affair shows that without the heft of its southern neighbour, Canada has no bargaining power with Beijing.

Four people directly familiar with the matter said the effort stalled amid internal disagreements over what approach to take, and the realisation that Ottawa has very little leverage over Beijing. Canadian officials are silent over whether they are playing any role in the Meng talks, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declined to comment when asked about it on Friday. His"top priority" is the release of the detainees, he said.

Sources say Canada has effectively blocked Huawei but does not want to say so publicly for fear of harming the fortunes of the two detainees.
