When it comes to Huawei, there’s no such thing as a free gift GlobeDebate

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.In another time, under different circumstances, news that the telecommunications behemoth Huawei has been donating much-needed medical supplies to stressed-out Canadian hospitals would be greeted with unfettered gratitude.

Huawei, of course, needs no introduction to most Canadians. It is currently awaiting a decision by the federal government on whether to allow the company to install its 5G technology in the country’s mobile networks. This comes amid a global debate about whether or not the firm can be trusted, given the control notoriously exerted by the Chinese government over the country’s private businesses.

We accept all that. But under no circumstances should Ottawa be prepared to allow Huawei to make this a gift. The federal government absolutely needs to pay back the technology company, for the cost of whatever their donations eventually amount to.
