Cong Peiwu said to Meng Wanzhou that he would like to express his deep sympathy and condolences when you were arbitrarily detained by Canada for 1,000 days.
We severely condemn Canada's wrongdoing.
I want to emphasize that the Chinese government resolutely safeguards the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens and enterprises. Any attempt to bully or oppress the Chinese people will inevitably be severely beaten.
Cong Peiwu also said that we will continue to urge Canada to face up to its own serious mistakes, the political nature of the incident, the solemn position of the Chinese side, the strong public opinion of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, and the correct decision to release you as soon as possible.
Please strengthen your confidence and take care of your body.
We look forward to your safe return home soon.
