Australia's Ministries of Defense and Foreign Affairs are removing surveillance cameras made by Chinese companies from their facilities. The foreign minister said on Friday that the technology posed a security risk following reports.

 

The cameras are being removed as the two countries try to improve diplomatic relations. In fact, in 2018, relations between the two countries deteriorated due to Australia's decision to ban Chinese tech giant Huawei from its 5G broadband network.

Ban on Chinese products in Britain and America as well

Explain that Britain had cited security risks to its government departments in November. Along with this, it was asked to stop installing surveillance cameras connected to China in sensitive buildings. At the same time, some US states have banned the sellers and products of many Chinese companies.
