Canada on Wednesday arrested the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of global telecom giant Huawei, sparking the protest of the Chinese government which urged her immediate release.

Meng Wanzhou, one of the vice chairs on the Chinese technology company's board and the daughter of company founder Ren Zhengfei, was arrested in Vancouver, where she is facing extradition to the United States on suspicion she violated the US sanctions against Iran.

In an interview with Press TV, author and columnist Einar Tangen said the arrest of Huawei’s CFO would hurt Sino-American relations.
