China’s ambassador to Canada called the arrest of Huawei Technologies Co. chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver a “premeditated political action” orchestrated by the U.S. government. In an opinion piece published Thursday by the Globe and Mail newspaper, Ambassador Lu Shaye said Meng’s arrest was a “miscarriage of justice,” given she wasn’t charged under Canadian law but at the behest of the Americans. Lu also said it is “hypocritical” to criticize China’s detention of Canadians, in light of what’s happened to Meng.
