Huawei and ZTE cannot be part of the development of the country’s 5G telecommunications network, the Canadian government announced Thursday.

The decision follows years of geopolitical manoeuvring and delays after Beijing arbitrarily detained two Canadians for more than 1,000 days. It ends a tumultuous waiting period over the fate of the Chinese company in the evolving Canadian 5G landscape.

Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne spoke about the decision alongside Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino after North American financial markets closed on Thursday.

Mendicino said the government will “prohibit the inclusion of products, and services from high-risk vendors in our telecommunications system,” and introduce new legislation to protect Canada’s critical telecommunications infrastructure.

“We are announcing our intention to prohibit the inclusion of Huawei and ZTE’s products and services in Canada’s telecommunications systems,” said Champagne.

The move will come amid deepening global concerns about Beijing’s disregard for international laws and human rights, and eight months after the release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor from Chinese prisons earlier this fall.
