Canada should ban Huawei from supplying 5G telecom equipment: ex-spy chief

Firstpost  

China detained two Canadians last month after the arrest of Meng Wanzhou, Huawei’s chief financial officer. Canada should ban China’s Huawei Technologies Co Ltd from supplying equipment to Canadian 5G networks because the security risk is too great, a former spy chief said in an article published on Monday. China detained two Canadians last month after the arrest of Meng Wanzhou, Huawei’s chief financial officer and the founder’s daughter, and demanded she be released. “If China would resort to putting Canadians to death to defend its corporate national champion, what might it do if the Chinese Communist Party had unfettered access to Canada’s vital communications networks?” said Fadden.
