The Chinese telecom giant has emerged as one of Canada\\u2019s most challenging policy issues, raising concerns involving competition, communications, security, and trade not to mention kidnappings and arrests of corporate personnel. The government has repeatedly promised to articulate a policy on the use of Huawei equipment in Canada\\u2019s next generation wireless networks only to regularly delay doing so.

A purely political move made without a shred of evidence, China says. The order would be confirmation of the U.S. stance that Huawei\\u2019s equipment could easily be used by the Chinese government to spy on Americans. The U.S. Australia and New Zealand have all banned Huawei from their networks. Canada hasn\\u2019t gone that route nor has Britain. But that may soon change.'
