Huawei executive arrives for extradition hearing in Canada
The first stage of an extradition hearing for a senior executive of Chinese telecom giant Huawei begins Monday in a Vancouver courtroom,, caused a diplomatic uproar between China and Canada and complicated trade talks between China and the United States.
China’s foreign ministry complained Monday the United States and Canada were violating Meng’s rights and called for her release.“It is completely a serious political incident,” said a ministry spokesman, Geng Shuang. He urged Canada to “correct mistakes with concrete actions, release Ms. Meng Wanzhou and let her return safely as soon as possible.”
Prosecutors have stressed that Meng’s case is separate from the wider China-U.S. trade dispute, but Trump undercut that message weeks after her arrest when he said he would consider intervening in the case if it would help forge a trade deal with Beijing. James Lewis at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies said the U.S. wanted to send a message with Meng’s arrest. There is good evidence that Huawei willfully violated sanctions, he said.
The second phase, scheduled for June, will consider defense allegations that the Canada Border Services Agency, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the FBI violated her rights while collecting evidence before she was actually arrested.The extradition case could take years to resolve if there are appeals. Nearly 90% of those arrested in Canada on extradition requests from the U.S. were surrendered to U.S. authorities in the years 2008 to 2018.
