China will "never" ask its firms to spy on other nations, Premier Li Keqiang said Friday, amid US warnings that Chinese telecommunications behemoth Huawei poses security risks. The United States has launched a global campaign to convince Western allies to shut Huawei out of next-generation 5G technology over fears the company could be used by Beijing for espionage. A law recently enacted by Beijing that obliges Chinese companies to aid the government on national security has added to the concerns.

Two Canadians, including a former diplomat, have been detained in China in apparent retaliation since then. Her father is the company's founder, Ren Zhengfei, a former engineer in the People's Liberation Army.
