In 12 hours, more than one million netizens around the world have signed an open petition launched by the Global Times on Wednesday night in demanding the immediate and unconditional release of Huawei’s CFO Meng Wanzhou, as she has been arbitrarily detained by Canada for nearly 1,000 days.

As August 26 marks 1,000 days since Huawei's Meng Wanzhou was detained in Canada, the Global Times launched an online petition on Wednesday calling for her release.

The incident is a blatant political persecution of a Chinese citizen and another example of the US government's unjustified crackdown on Chinese companies and its attempts to curb the development of China's high-tech industry, according to the petition. The petition also calls the Canadian government a ‘’willing accomplice’’ in the process.

Within 12 hours, over 1 million signatures have been collected from netizens from all around the world, showing the collective voice of people calling for the Canadian government to release the illegally detained Huawei senior executive.

The majority of Chinese people are very angry with Canada, considering Meng’s case is a blatant political persecution of a Chinese citizen by Canada..

Also on Wednesday, the Global Times released an open letter to Canadian Ambassador to China Dominic Barton, demanding Meng's immediate and unconditional release.

A marathon extradition hearing for Huawei’s CFO Meng Wanzhou concluded in the British Columbia Supreme Court, Canada, on Wednesday, a ruling from the court is expected in the coming months.

Huawei Canada said in a statement sent to the Global Times on Thursday morning that from the start, Huawei has been confident in Meng’s innocence and it has trusted the Canadian judicial system.

In her defense, Meng’s counsel raised four branches of abuse of the process in fighting the extradition case, including the political motivation behind the case, the unlawful detention, material omissions and misstatements and violations of customary international law, according to the statement.

And during the hearing process, Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes raised the question, saying that “isn’t it unusual that one will see a fraud case with no actual harm many years later?”

Meng's lawyers concluded their submissions at the extradition proceedings on Tuesday with a final attempt to end the case by building on an "evidentiary vacuum," claiming that the US fraud charges simply aren't valid.

The case is widely seen as an unusual one with a number of points of suspicion.

Meng was accused of defrauding HSBC as she was alleged to have "lied to the bank about the Chinese company's business in Iran," and the accusations have centered on a previous PowerPoint presentation that Meng gave to the bank in a steakhouse in Hong Kong in 2013.

As August 26 marks 1,000 days since Huawei's Meng Wanzhou was detained in Canada, the Global Times wrote an open letter to Canadian Ambassador to China Dominic Barton, demanding Meng's immediate and unconditional release.

On December 1, 2018, at the behest of the US government, "your government illegally detained Meng, chief financial officer of the Chinese company Huawei Technologies, based on the accusation of so-called fraud imposed by the US," the letter said, noting that Canada later approved the extradition order of Meng to the US.

However, from the very beginning, the previous Trump administration was blatant to suppress Huawei Technologies by using the hand of Canada to detain Meng Wanzhou, knowing Canada was willing to be an accomplice. The ultimate motif for the US government is to crack down on Huawei and the company's 5G technology.

"Many people in Canada and from the international community are aware of that. There is enough evidence to show that the US distorted the facts to lay out a false case against Meng. They even presented falsified evidence in court," the letter said.

A marathon extradition hearing for Meng concluded in the British Columbia Supreme Court, Canada, on Wednesday, a ruling from the court is expected in the coming months.

In only 12 hours, more than one million netizens around the world have signed an open petition launched by the Global Times on Wednesday night in demanding the immediate release of Meng, showing the collective voice of the people.

"It was an ironic and rare when the so-called victim of this fraud case - HSBC - agreed to provide relevant materials to the court to help prove Meng's innocence," the letter said.

Even worse was when former US president Donald Trump, ignoring the so-called legal procedures in the US and Canada, blatantly took the case of Meng as a bargaining chip in a geopolitical game with China, the letter said.

As an accomplice in the case, the Canadian government should be held liable for aiding the US to persecute a Chinese citizen for political purposes, according to the letter.

"Therefore, as the 1,000 days approach after Meng was illegally detained in Canada, the Global Times has launched a campaign to invite netizens from China and the rest of the world to join in the appeal against the ugly acts of the Canadian government, which is acting as an accomplice of the US government to persecute a Chinese citizen, demanding the immediate and unconditional release of Meng," the letter said.
