(6 Dec 2018) China's foreign ministry on Thursday demanded Canada release a top executive at Chinese telecoms giant Huawei Technologies, who was detained while in transit, and reveal the reasoning behind her arrest. Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told reporters that China was in contact over the case of Meng Wanzhou with both Canada and the US, which requested her detention on suspicion of trying to evade US curbs on trade with Iran. Meng, Huawei's chief financial officer, faces possible extradition to the United States, according to Canadian authorities. She was detained in Vancouver on Saturday, the day President Donald Trump met his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Argentina.
