Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Vancouver earlier this month and reportedly charged with fraud for telling UK-based banking company HSBC that the Chinese tech giant fully complied with US sanctions against Iran while one of its subsidiaries was not in compliance with the restrictions.
China has lashed out at what it described as the “inhumane” treatment of Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou who was earlier detained in Canada.
Meng’s arrest came after Chinese President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump met on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Buenos Aires where they agreed to a 90-day truce after months of increasing tariffs by both sides.”This is a criminal justice matter. It is totally separate from anything I work on or anything that trade policy people in the administration work on”, Lighthizer told the CBS programme Face the Nation.
