Yup, and as a Canadian the worst part about this is it gives the government here an easy out to sell out our own national security, because we're just followng Britain's lead after all. They already broke up the Five Eyes.
In my experience, our Canadian government sells us out to China even more readily than the UK government has; but at least we're not Australia, which is (no joke) basically on the edge of becoming a dependent territory of the PRC. To me, as a dual citizen, it is mystifying that the U.S. is allowing this to happen; if the PRC compromises half of the commonwealth, that seems like a serious threat to the United States, and to human rights as a concept and reality.
I agree, but I had hope the Liberals would be under such intense pressure to ban Huawei that they’d be forced to, politically.
Eg With the liberals being just a minority, the majority of the Canadian parliament got together and recently passed legislation for and subsequently set up a committee to review Canada-China relations, on the backdrop of China holding our citizens hostage and extraordinary Chinese intervention into Canadian governments (federal, provincial and municipal).
But realistically I know better than to bet against a Trudeau selling out Canada.
