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.
