Huawei also claims that the case is political, based on comments Trump made about intervening in Meng's case if he thought it would help trade talks.

“If I think it’s good for what will be certainly the largest trade deal ever made – which is a very important thing – what’s good for national security – I would certainly intervene if I thought it was necessary,” Trump told Reuters in December.

Late on Wednesday in Beijing, a statement on the Chinese Commerce Ministry’s website warned of retaliation if Trump followed through with tariffs as China’s trade negotiator headed to the U.S. to resume talks on Thursday.

“An escalation in trade frictions is not in line with the American or Chinese interests or the interests of the world, and would thus be much to China’s regret. But if the U.S. goes ahead with its tariff measures against China, China will have to resort to necessary countermeasures,” part of the Chinese-language statement said.

Meanwhile, Beijing has accused two Canadians of spying and detained them without access to their families or lawyers. China has also sentenced a third man to death on drug charges since Meng's arrest in Canada.

Meng is the daughter of Huawei's 74-year-old founder, Ren Zhengfei and his presumptive successor to one of the most powerful companies in China, and in the world.

Meng's lawyer responded to requests for comment from ABC News.
