China’s Foreign Ministry on Wednesday urged Canada’s re-elected Liberal Party government to immediately release detained Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, reported Reuters.
Geng Shuang, a spokesman at the ministry, made the comment at a regular news briefing.
Meng has been detained in Vancouver since December last year. She is charged in the United States with bank fraud, and is accused of misleading HSBC Holdings PLC about Huawei Technologies Co Ltd’s business in Iran, which is under US sanctions.
