China's foreign ministry and commerce ministry on Friday vowed all necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate interests of Chinese firms, after Canada revealed plans to ban the use of 5G gear from Huawei and ZTE on so-called national security grounds.
The 5G ban targeting Chinese firms, coming on the heels of a gesture of goodwill from China which lifted a three-year ban on Canadian canola seeds, lays bare Ottawa's role as a political pawn of the US, experts said, viewing Ottawa's unwise action as sowing the seeds of uncertainty over China-Canada cooperation.
