China lodges protest with Canada over Huawei executive’s extradition process

A livid China on Saturday lodged a diplomatic protest with Canada deploring its move to launch the extradition of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to the US to stand trial on charges including fraud linked to the alleged violation of sanctions on Iran.
Canada announced Friday that it would launch proceedings to extradite Meng, the high-profile daughter of Huawei’s owner Ren Zhengfei, raising concerns in Beijing, which has been very vocal in protesting her arrest since December last year.
Meng was arrested in Canada at the request of the US.
China said the case against Meng was an “abuse of the bilateral extradition treaty” between Canada and the US.
