Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou is suing Canada, alleging that authorities detained and interrogated her before declaring her under arrest
“Canada is conducting a fair, unbiased, and transparent legal proceeding with respect to the arrest of Ms. Meng Wanzhou,” said Scott Bardsley, a spokesperson for the Public Safety ministry, in an email.
Ottawa's extradition decision came despite mounting pressure from China, which has included the detention of several Canadian citizens and a foreign ministry spokesperson questioning the credibility of the North American nation's government on Friday."China strongly opposes Canada's insistence to proceed with the so-called extradition of Ms. Meng Wanzhou, and it has made a solemn representation," the ministry said in a statement released on Saturday morning.
Meng, a daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, is due back in court in British Columbia on Wednesday. Canadian officials conducted a "thorough and diligent review of the evidence" and determined it was sufficient to present the case to a judge for extradition, the Canadian Justice Department said Friday. The move does not reflect a judgment that Meng is either guilty or innocent, the government said.
The issue could come up directly between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping when they meet later this month in an ongoing trade negotiations.
