The security risks posed by the company have been widely, if superficially, canvassed. The main argument put forth is that Huawei could be used as an espionage and digital interference proxy by the Chinese government. This is a serious but hypothetical and future-oriented concern. It assumes China would use Huawei as a proxy despite having many other weapons at its disposal. This argument is built around an unstated scenario involving serious conflict between China and the West.
What we can do about telecommunications security is to ring-fence government networks , set high security standards for all network operators, monitor performance and test telecommunications providers and operators against the security standards, and issue public reports about the results of such testing. Such a system will not only catch things after the fact, it will also be designed to prevent issues from happening in the first place.
The question for Huawei, as for every other telecommunications company of concern, has to be around its contribution to the Canadian economy, its prosperity and its innovation. Huawei is a leading global company in terms of its research and development expenditure. Its R&D footprint in Canada is relatively small, but may grow if given the opportunity.
