Canada bans Chinese tech giant Huawei from 5G network

Pretty odd to do this right after Beijing gives some concessions to Ottawa, according to the article. Doesn't really make sense to give up a big negotiation point for... less than nothing?

Smart move would have been to wait until the next big political kerfuffle, or better yet to use the possibility of continued concessions to negotiate better agreements in the future.

So even the politics doesn't make sense from an Ottawa perspective. Maybe there are some pressing technical reasons for doings so? which no one is willing to apparently share on the record either.

According to the Toronto Sun, they are also banning ZTE.
