The Canadian government has ordered Chinese surveillance camera manufacturer Hikvision Canada Inc. to shut down and leave the country following a national security review under the Investment Canada Act. Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said the decision was based on intelligence community findings that the company’s continued operations would harm national security. Hikvision, the world’s largest surveillance equipment manufacturer operating in Canada since 2014, has faced similar sanctions in the U.S., Australia, and U.K. over allegations it supplied cameras used in China’s Xinjiang region where Uyghurs face human rights abuses. The company strongly disputed the decision, claiming it reflects geopolitical bias against Chinese companies, while the government is also banning federal departments from using Hikvision equipment.
