The Canadian government has set the course for the extradition of Huawei’s Finance Director Meng Wanzhou to the US. The Ministry of Justice in Ottawa said yesterday formally stated that the conditions for a extradition procedure were met. China criticized the actions of the Canadian authorities as politically motivated.
His government rejected this „decidedly“ and was „completely dissatisfied,“ said the spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Ottawa. It is not a legal matter but a „political persecution“ of a Chinese one
Technology company.
Far-reaching consequences
The Meng case has led to a serious diplomatic crisis between Canada and China. It also puts additional pressure on relations between Beijing and Washington, which have been involved in a trade dispute with each other for a year.
The head of the smartphone and technology giant was arrested at the beginning of December at the instigation of the United States in the western Canadian city of Vancouver. She was later released on payment of a millionaire bail and under strict conditions. The US government accuses Meng of violating Iran sanctions. The daughter of company founder Ren Zhengfei was therefore sued at the end of January together with her company before a federal court in New York.
