Sen. Cruz Applauds Canadian Government’s Efforts to Extradite Huawei’s CFO Meng Wanzhou to the United States

‘If the Canadian courts approve Meng’s extradition, she will experience something that her fellow Chinese citizens never get: a fair and open legal process’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today issued a statement following reports that the Canadian government has begun legal proceedings to extradite Huawei’s CFO Meng Wanzhou to the United States: 

“I commend the Canadian government for initiating an extradition case for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou. China’s Communist Party has been exerting enormous pressure on our Canadian allies to release her, but the seriousness of the charges against her merit the scrutiny they are receiving. The United States will pursue and try sanctions busters and, if the Canadian courts approve Meng’s extradition, she will experience something that her fellow Chinese citizens never get: a fair and open legal process.”
