VTV.vn - Chinese officials are demanding that Canada release Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's global chief financial officer and also the company's deputy chairwoman. She was arrested in Vancouver over the weekend and has been facing possible extradition to the United States.

Foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told to reporters on Thursday that the Chinese government wants Canadian officials to reveal the reasons behind Meng Wanzhou's arrest. He also said Meng's legal rights must be ensured, adding that neither Canadian nor American officials had so far responded to China's concerns. US authorities are investigating whether Chinese tech giant Huawei violated U.S. trade sanctions against Iran.
