Overseas media reported that three people familiar with the matter said Canada may postpone the decision to allow China to provide devices to the country's 5G network until after the October federal election.
According to Reuters on July 15, experts from Ottawa are evaluating the security risks of 5G networks, including Huawei's participation. The United States is concerned that using Huawei equipment may harm national security.
reported that two sources who were directly informed of the situation said it was impossible to announce the decision before the election. A third source stressed that the final decision has not been made, but added that details are unlikely to be released before the vote.
The third source said whether Canada is willing to let a Chinese company dominate the important part of the next generation of telecommunications network is an important question.
According to Taiwan's Juheng Network on July 15, among the member countries of the "Five Eyes Alliance", the United States, Australia and New Zealand have "banned" Huawei 5G network devices, and the Canadian and British governments are evaluating Huawei's risks.
reported that at present, only the UK is relatively gentle in adopting Huawei 5G network equipment. The British House of Commons Science and Technology Committee made a resolution, deciding that there is no reason to completely exclude Huawei from "technically".
However, the committee said that considering geopolitical or ethical norms, the British government should ban Huawei devices on core networks, and if Huawei is to be forced to be excluded, clear standards must be set for reference by relevant institutions.
