Synopsis: This week on The Impromptu, we unpack what exactly it means to have Huawei, a giant technology company, have influence in countries all around the world. With Huawei’s CFO arrested in Vancouver, questions are being asked about how much we can trust a company that has major involvement in contributing to Canada’s 5G infrastructure. North America is in a very difficult position, with its reliance on China for manufacturing and its history of trying to extract secrets from what lies behind our own firewalls.
