, the chinese ambassador to canada accuses canada of white supremacy. explain to us what's going on. the background is that you have arrested a prominent chinese businessman essentially at the request of the united states and likely extradite her at the request of the united states. what's going on? >> so if i may, it's a little bit -- if i can offer a little bit of nuance on the situation, canada and the united states have an extradition treaty. we share the world's longest unmilitarized border, something we're very proud of. and part of that -- and we're very close allies. and part of that relationship means we have an extradition treaty. that extradition treaty is used often between our two countries, something we're very experienced with. the u.s. made an extradition request for ms. ming, the cfo of huawei. so in line with the treaty, she was detained. there was a hearing and she has now been released on bail and is living in vancouver, where she happens to own a home. so that's the situation with her. the extradition case has not yet gone through t

canada's embassy has urged its citizens to be cautious when traveling to china. and the prime minister has also expressed his misgivings. it is of extreme concern to us as a government as it should be to all our international friends and allies that china has chosen to begin to arbitrarily apply death penalty in cases facing it as in this case facing a canadian the verdict represents a new escalation in the diplomatic spat between beijing and ottawa. observers have link schoenberg's fresh conviction to canada's arrest of this woman. she's a senior executive at telecommunications giant huawei and the daughter of its founder she's accused of helping the company bypass u.s. sanctions and american authorities are seeking her extradition. schoenberg's retrial was boxed through just weeks after one joe was taken into custody and now it seems her fate as well as that of schoenberg and two other comedians in chinese custody might not be decided in a court of law but rather on the international stage yes let's. go now to beijing where our correspondent mathias ballinger a

sort of smart political move on canada's part especially you know following the canadian saudi spat that sort of climaxed last august when sort of a cut relations with canada for calling for on saudi arabia to release dissidents and activists but canada can now say look we really mean it when we say that we have a feminist human rights oriented foreign policy but you know wouldn't it be great if canada then institutionalized this kind of feminist so-called human rights policy and applied it to other women who also you know suffer from domestic abuse sexual harassment who suffer from war and and protect for instance those yemeni women millions of them who continue to you know starve be killed to get m.p. tate said in a war that canada has implicitly supported through its continued arms sales to saudi arabia it's a certainly good p.r. move let's get the view from kind of remind me what's been the reaction to the news over the how it's been unfolding over the. it's been very positive i think you've seen an outpouring of public support for his case here in cannes and it certainly has no
