５Ｇで「ファーウェイ排除するな」 カナダ駐在中国大使
2019年1月18日 11時24分
カナダに駐在する中国大使は、次世代の通信規格「５Ｇ」の整備で、カナダ政府がアメリカなどと足並みをそろえて中国のファーウェイの通信機器を締め出せば、反発は免れないという考えを示しました。
高速、大容量で通信できる次世代の通信規格「５Ｇ」の分野で、中国のファーウェイは、先進的な技術を持つ代表的な企業の１つとして世界各国の通信会社と提携し実用化の準備を進めています。
この５Ｇを使った情報通信インフラの整備をめぐり、カナダ政府は現在、安全保障上のリスクがあるかどうか検証を続けています。
これについて首都オタワに駐在する中国の盧沙野大使は17日会見し、「カナダがファーウェイを締め出せば反発は免れない。賢明な判断を促す」と述べました。
カナダ当局がアメリカ政府の要請によって先月、ファーウェイの副会長を逮捕して以降、中国当局がカナダ人を相次いで拘束するなど、両国の関係は急速に冷え込んでいます。
アメリカはサイバー攻撃の脅威にさらされるとしてファーウェイなどの製品を政府内で使うことを禁止することを決め、オーストラリアやニュージーランドも足並みをそろえていて、カナダ政府の対応が注目されています。

The Chinese ambassador stationed in Canada, regarding the preparation
on the communication standard of the next generation "5G”, indicated the
idea that repercussion could not be avoided if the Canadian government kept
pace with the United States and others to shut out China’s Huawei communication
equipment.
In the field of the communication standard of the next
generation, "5G"in which one could communicate in large volume and
high speed, Huawei of China as one of the typical enterprises with forward
technology was cooperating with communication companies of all the countries
and was advancing preparations of its practical use.
Concerning the maintenance of infrastructure of information
and communication in using 5G, the Canadian government at present was checking whether
there was a risk in security.
Lú Shāyě the Chinese ambassador, who was residing in
metropolitan Ottawa and was interviewed on 17th, had stated that "if
Canada shut out Huawei, repercussion could not be avoided. A wise judgement was
suggested."
After the Canadian authorities arrested Vice Chairman of
Huawei last month at the request of the US government, relations between the
two countries were rapidly getting cold, for example the Chinese authorities
had detained Canadians one after another.
The United States had decided to prohibit the use of
products such as Huawei in the government for being exposed to the threat of
cyber attacks; Australia and New Zealand had also aligned and the response of
the Canadian government was drawing attention.
My Comments
All things in mainland
China are under the total control of the Communist Party. The Party is honoring
a cultural standard different from the free world in many areas such in ethic, moral and human rights. I think the danger of Hauwei
lies in the fact that all Chinese companies in China are vulnerable to the control
and pressure of the Chinese Communist Party all the time: in the past, now and
in the future. In the summer of 2014 Xi Jinping Administration asked the
country to uphold the "socialist core values outlook" which consisted
of 12 keywords in total, including the ideas on "patriotism" and
"rich and strong", and using them as moral slogans to withstand and
counteract the European and American thoughts on moral and human rights etc. On
the media side, in the same year the Party’s newspaper advertised that their
shared value outlook "was born by Chinese traditional culture and in
agreement with the conditions of the country". In July the Party Central’s
organization bureau notified the management staff to regard the talking about
European and American thought as "noise", and "not to become a
yes-man of the European and American moral value". Under such
circumstance, there is always a chance for Hauwei (by extension all overseas Chinese
companies) under pressure to scarify their business interest and integrity etc.
in yielding to the political needs of the Party out of the fact that a shared
value outlook "was born by Chinese traditional culture and in agreement
with the conditions of the country".
