US, Canada 'abusing' pact on extradition

Beijing pledges response if Washington asks Ottawa to turn over Huawei CFO

China said on Tuesday that Canada and the United States have abused their bilateral extradition treaty with regard to the arrest of Huawei's Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou, urging the US not to issue a formal extradition request to Canada.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that China will take further responses if Washington proceeds with the formal request to extradite Meng.
