A timeline of the Meng Wanzhou case, and rising tension between Canada and China.
: A New York court issues a warrant for the arrest of Huawei Technologies chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou.: Canadian authorities arrest Meng at Vancouver's airport after an extradition request from the Americans. The news becomes public on Dec. 5.: China demands Canada release Meng and "immediately correct the mistake" officials made in arresting her. The Chinese say they were not briefed on the reasons for Meng's arrest.
: Meng's defence team announces it has filed a notice of civil claim alleging "serious violations" of their client's constitutional rights.: China accuses the two detained Canadians of acting together to steal state secrets. Trudeau dismissed the allegation made in Chinese state media, saying: "It is unfortunate that China continues to move forward on these arbitrary detentions.
: The Crown says Canadian officials followed the law when they detained Meng and the defence has no proof to substantiate its "conspiracy theory" that she was illegally arrested. The Attorney General of Canada says in court documents that there's no evidence to suggest that the RCMP or the FBI asked border agents to elicit information from Meng during the detainment.
