Canada’s major action, ban on well-known Chinese CCTV manufacturing company

The Canadian government has ordered Chinese video surveillance equipment manufacturer Hikvision to cease all operations in Canada due to national security concerns. Canada’s Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, Melanie Joly, announced this on Friday. Canadian Industry Minister, Melodie Joly, said on June 27, 2025, that the government has ordered Chinese surveillance equipment manufacturer Hikvision to cease operations in Canada. She said, “Hikvision’s work in the country was deemed to pose a threat to national security. Therefore, this decision has been made based on information provided by Canadian security and intelligence agencies.” Hikvision is already on the radar of many international investigative agencies. The US has already blacklisted the company and the European Union has also raised many questions about it. It is alleged that Hikvision’s products have also been used by the Chinese government for surveillance, human rights violations and atrocities against Uyghur Muslims.
