Meng Chouzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei detained in Canada, plans to appear on the extradition on May 8. Reuters reported on the 5th that China has increased pressure on Canada in recent weeks, stopped importing Canadian canola and revoked import licenses from two major pork producers last week.
Beijing also rejected a Canadian trade mission to China, forcing Canadian officials to use video phones to deal with the threats to commodity exports.
Canada arrested Meng Xingzhou at the request of the United States, and therefore asked the United States to help resolve trade disputes with China, but the response was very limited. A Canadian government source said, "This is a very challenging situation. When we made this request to the Americans, they simply said that it is not easy to deal with the Chinese."

However, Reuters quoted a source as saying that the Chinese side suggested including Huawei in the US-China trade negotiations and was rejected by the US.
Canadian Ambassador to the United States, David MacNaughton, said that Canada has assisted US diplomatic efforts on issues such as Venezuela, Latvia and NATO. The United States should also provide more cooperation with Canada’s demands, otherwise the United States will provide The request for assistance will not be "so positively satisfied."
