Canada’s Hikvision ban can inspire wider collective action (Justin Bassi and James Corera – The Strategist)

Canada has just made a great step forward in minimising the security risk from China. Now Australia should step forward and propose to work with Canada to create international, harmonised arrangements to protect critical infrastructure. Canada’s move, implemented by Industry Minister Melanie Joly on 28 June on national security grounds, was to direct Chinese surveillance camera maker Hikvision to cease operations in Canada. This commendable action should now be a basis for collective security effort across the Five Eyes, Quad, G7 and NATO.
