Canada would be the lone member of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance – which also includes the U.S., Britain, Australia and New Zealand – that is not taking a firm stance against Huawei
Several British media outlets reported over the weekend that Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson, seen here on July 3, 2020, is now ready to do a U-turn and ban Huawei technology.British Prime Minister Boris Johnson appears poised to reverse course and ban Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. from supplying components for the country’s 5G wireless network.
Several British media outlets reported over the weekend that Mr. Johnson is now ready to do a U-turn and ban Huawei technology. He is also expected to order the removal of the company’s components from the existing 5G, 4G and 3G networks within the next seven years. The Prime Minister has also faced mounting pressure from more than 60 fellow Conservative members of Parliament who have raised concerns about China’s conduct in Hong Kong and who have vigorously opposed the government’s decision to allow Huawei to supply parts of the 5G network.
The centre’s report will be sent to cabinet ministers this week and Mr. Johnson is expected to announce the ban on Huawei components this month. “When it comes to Huawei, the Trudeau Liberals have spent months ignoring Canada’s security agencies and have refused to take a position on Huawei and its possible participation in Canada’s 5G network. This has put Canada offside with our G7 allies and threatens the future of Five Eyes intelligence sharing,” he said.
