Canada's intelligence agency warned that arresting the daughter of billionaire Huawei founder Ren Zheng would set off global 'shock waves' and seriously affect ties with China, just before her detention in Vancouver on a U.S. extradition request, new court documents show.

Released on Friday, the documents show the involvement of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service in the December 2018 arrest of Meng Wanzhou, which soured diplomatic ties between Ottawa and Beijing. A CSIS report was disclosed in the court documents as part of Meng’s extradition proceedings. In a redacted Dec. 1, 2018 memo, CSIS said it was advised by the U.S. FBI of plans to arrest Meng when she arrived on a flight to Vancouver International Airport later that same day.
