Senator Mark Warner, seen here on Capitol Hill, told The Globe and Mail in an exclusive interview that he’s concerned Western governments are not paying sufficient heed to Washington’s warnings on Huawei.The Democratic vice-chair of the U.S. Senate intelligence committee is urging Canada to set aside any ill feelings toward President Donald Trump and join the United States in blacklisting China’s Huawei Technologies from next-generation wireless networks.
"The hurt, angst and rightful indignation that that designation created was a real, real problem,” Mr. Warner said. “But it still begs the question, I would argue, what is in Canada’s best interest. … Does the Canadian government, the Canadian public, want to have a system where their communications could be vulnerable on a regular basis to a foreign power?”
The Trump administration last week added Huawei to a trade blacklist, saying it"is engaged in activities that are contrary to American national-security or foreign-policy interest,” and barring U.S. companies from doing business with Huawei without special government approval.Canada and Britain, which are members of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance along with the U.S.
Moreover, Mr. Warner said 5G networks built with Huawei gear would allow the routing of communications through China. Mr. Warner discounted assertions from Huawei’s top executives that the company would be prepared to sign non-spying pacts with countries that allow their telecoms to use its 5G gear.He noted that the ruling Communist Party passed sweeping laws forcing its companies and citizens to collaborate on espionage.
