The arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou by Canadian authorities produced attention-grabbing headlines in recent weeks, but the police action is just one part of a coordinated effort to target the Chinese telecommunications giant.
An account in The Sydney Morning Herald on Thursday describes how intelligence chiefs from the Five Eyes nations – the US, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand – hatched a plan to push back on Huawei’s global ambitions.
The debate among the spy chiefs during a dinner in Nova Scotia on July 17 centered on one question, the Herald said: “Should the agencies go public with their concerns about China?”
While not all agreed to speak publicly on the issue, after that meeting, a campaign to block Huawei from supplying equipment for fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks has gained steam.
The UK’s largest mobile network provider announced it would shed Chinese-made gear just days after Meng’s arrest. The US, Australia and New Zealand have already said they will not use Huawei equipment for next-generation mobile networks.
While Ottawa has yet to ban Huawei from 5G networks, Canada’s top intelligence official publicly warned of the dangers of not doing so on the same week that Meng was arrested. The Herald said that “a formal ban on Huawei and ZTE from Ottawa is expected within weeks.”
“A new Great Game was afoot and the West had been slow to act,” went the narrative voiced at the gathering in Nova Scotia. “But it is acting now.”

Huawei was used by the Chinese Govt. as gateway for cyber espionage to everywhere in the world in short.
Trump has started a trade war with Canada and as a result prime minister Trudeau is activly looking for new trade partners.
Canada just held meetings with Japan on auto trade and were to meet with China to discuss tourism and trade (now postponed).
This is all about driving a wedge between Canada and China to prevent future co operation and it seems to have worked like charm.

Canada is following the Law it’s called the extradition act. If the USA request someone be extradited a legal procedure must take place. Make no mistake that it is the rule of law and must be followed.
Funny how you lump Canada (a country of less than 40 million people) with the USA considering how Trump has been attacking Canada through trade wars and in the Media since he came into power.
Now China is attacking Canada by arresting innocent citizens and encouraging Chinese citizens to boycott Canada Goose products all because Canada is following the rule of law.
Ignorance is bliss.
Glad the truth is coming out. It’s always economics in the end, politics are often used as a pretext, a means to an end.

The era of the US hegemony is ending whatever they do. No world power is forever. Read history. And the Trump bullying cabinet has no clue how to handle (prolong their power) the issue in a smart, contemplated way.

Canada has an "extradition treaty" with the US. The U.S. told us to arrest Meng. This is not Canadian doing, understand that please !

The Anglosaxan spy ring (formed after WW2 without France) is still operative to regain the white supermacy during the colonial days but they are unable to compete with China/Russia in technology. That is why they want to stop China developing 5G wireless.

The anglosaxan spy ring (France is not in it) started after WW2 is still operating to show the white supermacy in colonial times. But these countries are far behind in education. Therefore they are trying to stop Chinese tecnology. But they will fail if the BRICS countries unite. A joint China, Russia & India group can take over the technology.

China has advanced so rapidly that very soon 5G will be outdated. Who commands the technology commands the economy. Their tech sector is behind China and getting further.
