Abstract This article's ultimate purposes are to answer the heated-discussed questions in the Meng Wanzhou case and provide a brief introduction to extradition, especially essential sections such as double criminality. The article focuses mainly on the facts of the Meng Wanzhou case and the necessary procedures concerned. First, the investigation abstracted from the Extradition Act of Canada, applying principles and theories in the extradition practice to fully explain the case in detail. Then, the study explored two critical terms: extraditable offenses, double criminality, and their primary coverages. Next, the research provided two main arguments: the abuse of procedure and the acknowledgment of double criminality. Finally, the analysis added another extradition case to compare the Meng Wanzhou case. Overall, the study analyzed the procedural law and law ideologies in the case. The consideration of national values is the cornerstone of the case.
