China's foreign ministry on Monday urged Canada to free an executive of telecom equipment giant Huawei Technologies held for more than a year as she awaits an extradition trial.

Canada arrested Huawei's chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, on Dec. 1 at Vancouver's airport at the request of the U.S., which is seeking her extradition on fraud charges.

Meng's arrest has further soured relations between Beijing and Washington as President Donald Trump pressures China on trade and seeks to limit business with Huawei on national security grounds. It also has embroiled Canada in the friction over Huawei: Chinese authorities detained two Canadians in an apparent attempt to pressure Canada to release Meng.

Those moves followed President Donald Trump's signing last week of legislation supporting human rights in Hong Kong, where often violent prodemocracy protests have persisted for the past six months. "Rolling back tariffs is a must. The China-U.S. trade war instigated by the U.S. with tariffs, so the tariffs have to be cut first," the newspaper quoted Wei Jianguo, a former Chinese commerce minister as saying.
