A higher number of respondents also expressed negative views toward China more generally, with 66% having an ‘unfavourable’ position toward the country

OTTAWA — A growing number of Canadians are wary of a bid by China’s Huawei Technologies to build its 5G mobile network in Canada amid deteriorating relations between the two countries, a new poll suggests.

The Chinese government responded with threatening calls for Ottawa to release Meng, who is the daughter of company founder and Chinese billionaire Ren Zhengfei. Chinese officials have detained two Canadian citizens, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, and have targeted imports of various Canadian agricultural products as a way to retaliate against Canada.

“What has been different in the last year is the very tangible impact of China’s actions as a result of the Meng arrest,” she said. McKnight said the “triangular relationship between party, state and business is too interlocked for there to be any real independence” on the part of Chinese companies.
