Australia To Remove Chinese-made Cameras From Defence Sites 

Australia’s defense department will strip its buildings of Chinese-made security cameras to ensure they are completely secure. <br />It follows similar moves in the United States and Britain, which have taken measures to stop government departments from installing Chinese-made cameras at sensitive sites. <br />Both countries have expressed fears that Chinese companies could be forced to share intelligence collected by the cameras with Beijing’s security services. <br />At least 913 Chinese-made cameras have been installed across more than 250 Australian government buildings, according to official figures compiled by opposition politician James Paterson. <br />Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles says officials would hunt down and remove all Chinese-made security cameras within its buildings. <br />
