Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou leaves the British Columbia Supreme Court with her security team, in Vancouver, Canada, on Tuesday. A Canadian police officer refused to testify at Meng's latest extradition hearing, which sparked more suspicions, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Wednesday noted the essence of the case became much clearer -- politics.

Two years after Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou's arrest in Canada, the Chinese Foreign Ministry once again urged Canada to release her, and condemned the Canadian and US governments' political conspiracy in targeting the Chinese company.

"We once again urge Canada to immediately rectify its mistake and release Meng Wanzhou. Meng has violated no Canadian law, yet has been unjustly detained to this day, which we find outrageous," Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying said at a routine news conference on Tuesday, "We will continue to take all necessary measures to defend Meng." Hua also called Meng's arrest a "serious political event."

"The US government concocted this incident in order to suppress Chinese high-tech enterprises and obstruct China's scientific and technological development," Hua said. "The Canadian government played the role of an accomplice of the US and bears irrevocable responsibility."

Meng Wanzhou, the 48-year-old senior executive of the Chinese high-tech firm, who is also the daughter of Huawei's founder Ren Zhengfei, was arrested at Vancouver International Airport on December 1, 2018 at the request of the US, and faces fraud charges. Two months later, Huawei sued Canada over the arrest for violating her constitutional rights, and just two days later Canada initiated proceedings for Meng to be extradited to the US.

On Monday, Chinese Ambassador to Canada Cong Peiwu had a phone call with Meng, stressing China's determination to protect the legitimate rights of Chinese nationals and firms.

"We will continue to urge Canada to correct its wrong deeds and ensure your safe return to China," said the ambassador, "Justice is sure to come!"

Huawei also expressed confidence in Meng's innocence.

"Huawei remains confident in Ms. Meng's innocence and trusts in the Canadian judicial system to reach that conclusion," the tech giant said in a statement published on Tuesday. "Accordingly, Huawei will continue to support Ms. Meng's pursuit of justice and freedom."
