According to the "Interact Easy" platform of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, on June 30, an investor asked Hikvision about the impact of the Canada incident on the company and the proportion of revenue from Canadian operations.
Hikvision replied that the Canadian market accounted for less than 0.3% of Hikvision's 2024 revenue. Facing various political pressures, Hikvision will continue to strive to serve customers worldwide, continue to provide products and services to Canadian customers, firmly advance internationalization, and continuously improve global product competitiveness.

On the evening of the 27th local time, Canadian Industry Minister Melanie Joly announced that the Canadian government had ordered Hikvision Canada Limited to cease operations in Canada, citing so-called "national security" reasons.
In response, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Canada stated on the 28th that the Canadian government's move seriously damaged the legitimate and proper rights and interests of Chinese enterprises, disrupted normal Sino-Canadian economic and trade cooperation, and China strongly disapproved and resolutely opposed this action. China urged the Canadian side to immediately change course and stop the unreasonable suppression of Chinese enterprises.
Hikvision responded to Observer News: "We strongly oppose the decision by the Canadian government to shut down Hikvision Canada within 120 days under the so-called 'national security concerns'."
Hikvision stated that the Canadian government made a wrong interpretation of Chinese laws such as the National Security Law and the National Intelligence Law, focusing on Hikvision's state-owned equity structure, and without any evidence, falsely accused Hikvision's business in Canada of potentially harming its "national security," thereby demanding the shutdown of Hikvision Canada. This approach ignores the facts, is seriously lacking in procedural fairness and transparency, and is discriminatory and repressive against Chinese enterprises.
Hikvision emphasized: "Hikvision was established in China and operates globally. We have always adhered to commercial ethics, strictly followed the laws and regulations of the locations where we operate, and conducted legal and compliant business operations globally. We hope the Canadian government respects the rule of law, is realistic, and creates a fair, just, and non-discriminatory environment for global enterprises, rather than taking discriminatory actions based on imagination and prejudice."
Hikvision was founded in 2001 and was listed on the stock exchange in May 2010, and is considered the world's largest manufacturer of video surveillance equipment.
