BEIJING — Beijing strongly protested Washington’s extradition request of Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou and demanded “objective” treatment for Chinese enterprises. ADVERTISEMENT“We call on the US side to immediately withdraw the arrest warrant for Meng Wanzhou as well as the official extradition request,” Geng said at a daily news conference. Canada’s Justice Department confirmed later that officials had received a formal extradition request from the US, Canadian Broadcasting Corp reported. Earlier on Tuesday, Geng warned Washington in a statement to stop its campaign against Chinese enterprises, including Huawei. He said it would be “great for Canada” if the US drops its extradition request against Meng.
