VANCOUVER—Meng Wanzhou’s father, Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, told Chinese state media he expects his daughter will go to prison but predicts she will emerge with a doctorate. It’s the first time Ren has clearly implied that he suspects his daughter will go to prison. The potentially years-long extradition hearing that will see Meng resist attempts to send her stateside is set to begin in January. But Meng comes from a powerhouse family in China, one that holds significant influence in both the political and business worlds. Her mother, Meng Jun, is the daughter of the former deputy governor of Sichuan province.
