So much for a trade war truce between China and the US, or a stock market Christmas rally for that matter.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the news hit <\/a>that Huawei CFO Wanzhou Meng \u2014 also deputy chairwoman and the daughter of Huawei\u2019s founder \u2014 was arrested on December 1, or right around the time Trump and Xi were having dinner in Buenos Aires last Saturday, and faces extradition to the U.S. as a result of a DOJ investigation into whether the Chinese telecom giant sold gear to Iran despite sanctions on exports to the region, China immediately lodged a formal protest publishing a statement at its embassy in Canada, and demanding the U.S. and its neighbor “rectify wrongdoings” and free Meng, warning it would “closely follow the development of the issue” and will “take all measures” to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Full statement below<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Remarks of the Spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Canada on the issue of a Chinese citizen arrested by the Canadian side<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the request of the US side, the Canadian side arrested a Chinese citizen not violating any American or Canadian law. The Chinese side firmly opposes and strongly protests over such kind of actions which seriously harmed the human rights of the victim. The Chinese side has lodged stern representations with the US and Canadian side, and urged them to immediately correct the wrongdoing and restore the personal freedom of Ms. Meng Wanzhou.<\/p>\n

We will closely follow the development of the issue and take all measures to resolutely protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meng’s arrest will immediately heighten tensions between Washington and Beijing just days after the world\u2019s two largest economies agreed on a truce in their growing trade conflict.<\/p>\n
