The Chinese Embassy in Canada said it was "utterly dissatisfied with and firmly opposes" the decision to allow the case to proceed.

Lawyers for Meng said she maintains her innocence, and they called the U.S. extradition
request an abuse of the legal process. Meng was arrested at the request of the United States as she changed planes in Vancouver in December. She is wanted by Washington on charges that she conspired to violate U.S. sanctions on Iran.
innocence: n.清白，无罪

The case has damaged China's relationship with Canada. After Meng's detention, China arrested two Canadians on national security grounds and a Chinese court sentenced to death a Canadian man who previously had only been jailed for drug smuggling.

It could be months or even years before Meng, who is under house arrest in Canada, is sent to the United States, since many decisions can be appealed in the Canadian justice system.

U.S. President Donald Trump suggested last year that the United States could cut a deal with China to secure Meng's release. However, since then the U.S. Justice Department has unsealed its indictment against Meng and Huawei, and Trump has played down the idea of dropping the charges.
cut a deal with: 达成协议
unseal: v. 开启,开封
indictment: n.起诉书
