The US must file a formal extradition request by 30 January for the Chinese telecoms executive.
The US is expected to soon file a formal request for the extradition of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, Canadian media report.
The Chinese telecoms executive was arrested on 1 December in Canada at the request of American officials.
She is accused by the US of breaking American sanctions on Iran.
China has demanded Ms Meng’s release and has accused both the US and Canada of «arbitrarily abusing» their extradition treaty.
Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying on Tuesday said both countries had made a «serious mistake» and urged the US to «withdraw its arrest order for Ms. Meng Wanzhou and refrain from making formal extradition request to the Canadian side».
The Globe and Mail newspaper reported late on Monday that US officials have indicated to David MacNaughton, Canada’s ambassador in Washington, that they plan to proceed with the extradition request of the Huawei executive.
Under Canadian law, the US has 60 days to file its formal request, a deadline that will be reached 30 January.
