• This analysis provides an overview of recent measures regarding Huawei by eight of Canada’s closest economic and political partners: the United States, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Japan. This encapsulates the informally-named “Five Eyes” intelligencesharing alliance, along with the remaining members of the G7. It further examines the factors impacting Canada’s eventual decision, given its uniquely complicated relationship with both Huawei and China as a whole. This is the second China Institute publication on the subject of Huawei. The company was also examined in the 2019 CIUA Occasional Paper titled “Examining Huawei’s Growth and Global Reach: Key Implications, Issues and the Canadian Connection.”
