Huawei Executive: Vice Minister and Terry Branstad

huawei executive: In a statement on Sunday, China's vice minister of foreign affairs, Le Yucheng, said the US ambassador to China, Terry Branstad, is being summoned over Beijing's strong protest against the US's unreasonable direction to Canada of detaining the Huawei executive, according to CNN. Le said China would like the United States to revoke the arrest warrant against Meng and allow her to be freed. The tech giant's chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, was arrested December 1 and faces extradition to the United States, where she is accused of helping Huawei circumvent US sanctions on Iran. In a statement Saturday summoning Canadian Ambassador to China John McCallum, Le said Meng's arrest severely violated the Chinese citizen's legal and legitimate rights and interests, it is lawless, reasonless and ruthless, and it is extremely vicious. Read More China strongly urges Canada to release the detainee immediately and earnestly protest the person's legal and legitimate rights and interests, otherwise it will definitely have serious consequences, and the Canadian side will have to bear the full responsibility for it, Le said in the statement. The statement also warned Canada of serious consequences if it doesn't release Meng. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
