The case of Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou is definitely not a simple judicial case, but with strong political attempts and manipulation behind it, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said during a regular press conference on Monday.

“Chinese people and international society see it very clearly,” Geng Shuang, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said. “China urges Canada to make the right choice, release Meng immediately and let return to China safely.”

Canada's ambassador to China John McCalluman’s resignation is an internal Canadian affair, and China will not comment on it, Geng said.
