Global Affairs Canada is reviewing a potential imposition of sanctions on four Chinese surveillance companies, aiming to address their alleged roles in human rights violations in Xinjiang.
Advocacy groups are pressing Canada to utilize its new legal powers to seize assets from these companies and redirect proceeds to victims of repression linked to the Xinjiang issue.
Despite calls for strong measures against China's human rights abuses, Canada has generally taken a more cautious approach than the U.S., emphasizing the need for careful evaluation.
The companies involved, particularly Hikvision, represent significant global players in surveillance technology, raising further implications for international relations and human rights discussions.
