Canada Goose delays opening of flagship store in Beijing
A customer who had come for the opening of a Canada Goose store looks at the company's covered logos on the store in Beijing on December 15, 2018.
Canadian clothing brand Canada Goose delayed the opening of a new flagship store in Beijing on Saturday.
Famous for its high-end parka jackets, Canada Goose said its new store would not open as planned because of ongoing works.
"I am sorry to inform you that the opening of the Beijing Sanlitun flagship store, which was originally scheduled for Saturday December 15, will be postponed due to renovation works," the company, which is one of Canada's best-known brands, said on China's Twitter-like Weibo on Friday.
Shop windows and logos had been covered up outside the store.
The announcement comes two weeks after Chinese national Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of telecom behemoth Huawei, was arrested in Canada following a request by Washington, which wants her extradited for allegedly violating US sanctions on Iran.
Two Canadian citizens -- business consultant Michael Spavor and former diplomat Michael Kovrig -- were detained in China on suspicion of being engaged in activities "harming China's state security."
