Hikvision's Legal Challenge: Chinese surveillance camera manufacturer Hikvision is challenging a Canadian government order that requires it to cease operations in Canada, seeking a judicial review and asking the court not to enforce the order until a decision is made.
National Security Concerns: The Canadian government determined that Hikvision's continued operations posed a threat to national security, a decision influenced by information from Canada's security and intelligence community, amidst ongoing scrutiny over the company's activities related to human rights abuses in Xinjiang.
