Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei told the BBC on Monday that the arrest of his daughter, Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou, was politically motivated.
“Firstly, I object to what the U.S. has done. This kind of politically motivated act is not acceptable,” Zhengfei told BBC in an interview.
Canada arrested Meng on December 1st at the request of the United States. Meng was charged with bank and wire fraud to violate American sanctions against Iran.
