It is shamful that Canada ignores the international rules and obeys the United States, paying the bill for America's bullying actions. Canada has no jurisdiction over Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's global chief financial officer, be it based on the nationality principle or territorial principle, Xinhua News Agency stated.

Despite not breaking any Canadian law, Huawei's global chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou was provisionally detained by the Canadian authorities at the behest of the United States, while she was in transit between flights in Canada. Both countries have not provided any evidence to China in regard to Meng's alledged violation of any Canadian or American laws.

A notion Canada keeps boasting of is "human rights," but in this case, one can barely claim that Meng's right has been respected. Arresting a Chinese citizen during her change of flight without giving any concrete reason is severely violating her legitimate rights and interests.

Canada's misdeeds, which are lawless, unreasonable and callous, have caused serious damage to its relations with China.

We here give a piece of advice that Canada should not be wrong-headed any longer but immediately release the senior executive and effectively protect her legitimate rights and interests, otherwise there will be serious consequences and Canada is to take all responsibility, Xinhua stated.
