The chief financial officer of China’s Huawei Technologies, Meng Wanzhou, was arrested in Vancouver on December 1 and faces extradition to the United States, Canada’s Department of Justice said on Wednesday.

Meng’s arrest is related to alleged violations of US sanctions, according to Reuters news agency. A bail hearing for her extradition is set for Friday.

Huawei issued a statement saying Meng, also the company’s deputy chairman and the daughter of company founder Ren Zhengfei, was detained while changing flights in Canada, in order to face “unspecified charges” in New York. The tech company said it complies with all laws and rules where it operates.

The company also said it was “not aware of any wrongdoing” by Meng.

The Wall Street Journal reported in April that American authorities are investigating whether the Chinese tech company violated sanctions on Iran.

China’s foreign ministry urged Canada and the US to “clarify” the reason for Meng’s detention.

“We have made solemn representations to Canada and the US, demanding that both parties immediately clarify the reasons for the detention, and immediately release the detainee to protect the person’s legal rights,” ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a regular press briefing.

Stocks on both the Chinese mainland and in Hong Kong tumbled after news of the arrest, with tech firms taking the brunt of the selling of shares. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index dropped 2.47 percent, while the Shanghai Composite Index fell 1.68 percent.

Huawei is one of the world’s largest telecommunications equipment and service providers. It surpassed Apple in smartphone sales in the second quarter of this year, leaving it behind only market leader Samsung.

US national security officials have said Huawei poses a security risk due to its alleged close links to the Chinese government. The company’s US business has been tightly constrained amid fears that its cellphones, widely used in other countries, could provide Beijing avenues for espionage.
