making a decision against the company now could further damage relationship with China, Richard Fadden says
Canada should postpone banning Chinese communications giant Huawei’s use of 5G technology because the decision could complicate a fraught relationship with the superpower, says the former head of Canada’s spy agency.
Mr. Fadden was in Vancouver to speak to a public forum held by the Vancouver branch of the Canadian International Council. Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou has been in custody in Vancouver since December as the United States seeks her extradition on charges related to the violation of sanctions on Iran. In the meantime, two Canadians in China have been taken into custody in retaliation. Another Canadian has also been sentenced to death following a retrial for a drug-smuggling offence.
He said there are no easy answers for dealing with China. “We need to be realistic. We’re dealing with an emergent superpower, which is spreading its wings and wants to make the point. It is a force to be reckoned with,” he added.
