OTTAWA: The Canadian unit of China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd sought to distance itself from the actions of the Chinese government on Monday, with a top local executive saying the company is worried about two Canadian men being held by Beijing.
"Obviously we're concerned, like all Canadians are concerned, about their well-being," Huawei Canada's Vice President of Corporate Affairs Alykhan Velshi said when asked about the two men being held in China. Huawei said it would partner with ICE Wireless and Iristel to provide high-speed internet to 20 communities in the Arctic and 70 in rural and remote areas of Quebec by 2025, potentially reaching some 200,000 people living in those areas.
Last week, Reuters reported that Canada was likely to postpone a decision on whether to allow Huawei to supply 5G network equipment until after the October federal election due to increasingly strained relations with Beijing.Velshi said the characterization of the company's Canadian offices as"Dr. Evil's lair" where they are"toiling away at the latest world-ending scheme" is false.
