BEIJING: Chinese state-run media on Friday condemned the arrest in Canada of a top executive of telecommunications giant Huawei on a US extradition request as a “despicable rogue’s approach” to contain Chinese high-tech ambitions.

The arrest of Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer and daughter of the company’s founder, has angered the Chinese government and raised concerns that it could disrupt a trade war truce between the world’s two biggest economies.
