“It’s a political case” and there are “very few signs of progress,” Guy Saint-Jacques, the former Canadian ambassador to Beijing, told Agence France Presse. Canada’s new foreign minister, Francois-Philippe Champagne, said he expressed his country’s “deep concern” over the condition of the Canadians’ detention in talks with Chinese counterpart Wang Yi last month. China ‘biding’ its timeMeng, the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, was arrested while changing planes in Vancouver on Dec. 1, 2018. “It’s just important for us to remind the world that he’s still being detained,” said Malley. The Canadians was regularly interrogated in the first six months of detention, Kevin Garratt said.
