Global News/Canadian Press: Chinese ambassador threatens ‘repercussions’ on Canada if Huawei 5G banned
Chinese ambassador Lu Shaye says Canada’s arrest of a Huawei Technologies executive was an act of “backstabbing” by a friend.
And Lu warns of “repercussions” if Canada bars the firm from its new 5G network for security reasons, as have three of its intelligence-sharing allies.
In a rare interview with Canadian journalists, Lu also told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to back off recruiting international support in Canada’s feud with China. He said it would be a bad idea for Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland to use the upcoming World Economic Forum summit in Davos to press that case.

WNU Editor: This Chinese Ambassador in this interview was threatening, condescending, insulting, and arrogant. And while Canadian journalists who were present for this interview were taken aback by this behaviour, I was not. These are the type of diplomats that President Xi wants out there defending China's interests, and they do not care about the blow-back that it may cause.

No nation on earth should ever let that Huawei 5G parasite into its infrastructure.
Chinese effrontery would be condemned by progressive Canadian leadership if it wasn’t for their Chinese contracts and cash. But they are so busy condemning President Trump in any case.
I wonder how much Canadian debt China owns.
China has the right to forbid this and that, but forbid any country to make its own choice. Who are they? This dictatorship cannot do with other countries what they are doing with their own people.
Forbid any Chinese product!!!!!!!!!!!
RussInSoCal,
Canada owes China nothing.
The Canadian Federal debt is serviced by borrowing through bonds, treasury bills, banks, etc..
The current debt in Canada (federal/provincial/municipal) is $1.4 trillion Canadian, which as a percentage of GDP is the best in the G7.
