CANADA TOP EXECUTIVE RESIGNS

-

ONE OF HUAWEI Canada’s top executives disclosed on Friday that he was leaving his post after more than seven years with the Chinese telecommun­ications equipment maker, which is facing heightened scrutiny over security issues from Canada and its allies. Scott Bradley disclosed his departure as the company’s senior vice-president for corporate affairs in a post on LinkedIn that did not give a reason for the move. He could not immediatel­y be reached for comment. Huawei Technologi­es is under intense scrutiny in the West over its relationsh­ip with the Chinese government and US-led allegation­s that its equipment could be used by Beijing for spying. On Friday, sources said that Poland arrested a Huawei employee and former Polish security official on spying allegation­s, a move that could fuel Western concerns about the security of the company’s technology. Bradley was a key public spokespers­on for Huawei Canada, which has been under the spotlight since Canadian authoritie­s in December arrested the chief financial officer of its parent company at the request of the US.
