Three of Britain’s biggest supermarkets have banned Chinese CCTV cameras from their stores amid concerns over their security and ethical risks.
Morrisons has joined Tesco in removing equipment supplied by Hikvision and Dahua over their alleged involvement in the suppression of the Uyghur Muslim minority in north-west China.
Marks & Spencer said it did not have any Hikvision cameras in any of its stores as part of its policy to ensure its supply chains were “sustainable and ethical and that human rights are respected”.
