Hu Xijin, editor of the Global Times, said in a video posted on December 12, that Canada can expect retaliation “far worse” than the detainment of a former diplomat if Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou isn’t released. He said “Meng Wanzhou was released on bail, but Canada must do more to restore her freedom and put an end to this incident, otherwise, China will definitely take retaliatory measures against Canada.” He said “I personally believe that if Canada extradites Meng to the U.S., China’s revenge will be far worse than detaining a Canadian.”
