FILE _ in this March 6, 2019, file photo, Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou arrives back at her home after a court appearance in Vancouver, British Columbia. China has formally arrested two Canadian citizens it is believed to be holding to pressure Canada into releasing Meng Wanzhou. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said Thursday that Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor have been arrested for allegedly stealing state secrets. Her attorney has argued that comments by U.S. President Donald Trump suggest the case against her is politically motivated. Another Canadian held in China, Robert Schellenberg, was re-sentenced to death in a drug case following Meng’s detention.
