Trudeau: China made 'obvious' link between Meng Wanzhou case, detained Canadians cdnpoli
Last week, Trudeau reiterated his position that the so-called “two Michaels” were being arbitrarily detained because of the independent judicial proceedings involving Meng, who is fighting an extradition request to the United States while living in a Vancouver mansion.
Earlier Monday, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian blasted Trudeau’s remarks, saying there “is no such thing” as arbitrary detention.“China urges the relevant Canadian leader to earnestly respect the spirit of the rule of law, respect China’s judicial sovereignty and stop making irresponsible remarks,” Zhao said.
“Additionally, we echo Canada’s call for immediate consular access to its two citizens, in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, as China has prohibited such access for almost six months, and the world has no knowledge of the two Canadians’ condition.”
