China, Huawei viewed with suspicion by majority of Canadians
A new survey says Canadian public opinion is solidly against allowing Huawei as a supplier for the new generation of ultra-fast wireless networks that are being built by the country’s telecommunications companies. An Angus Reid Institute online poll published Wednesday says 69 percent of respondents were against the federal government allowing the Chinese telecom equipment maker from being involved in Canada’s fifth-generation wireless networks. The survey also found that 66 percent of respondents had a negative view of China, up from 51 percent in 2018.
