A Chinese official is accusing Canada and the U.S. of abusing the extradition system after the Globe and Mail published a report saying officials in the U.S. soon will proceed with a formal extradition request for Meng Wanzhou. Meng's case has drawn international attention and sparked diplomatic tensions between Canada and China. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying on Tuesday said that both countries had abused the extradition agreement in Meng's case. "The Canadian legal system is fair and impartial to everyone ... the detention of Ms. Meng is not about a Canadian case against her. Then they have to make the case for extradition in our legal system."
