Polish Police Arrest Huawei Executive On Suspicion Of Spying For China (npr.org)
A Huawei executive has been arrested in Poland on charges of spying for China, Poland's counterintelligence service said Friday. NPR reports: A government spokesman identified the suspect as Weijing W.; media reports in Poland and China say he also is known as Stanislaw Wang, Huawei's sales director in Poland. In a coordinated arrest Tuesday, authorities also detained and charged a Polish citizen named Piotr D. who works for the telecom company Orange Polska. He is a former Internal Security Agency official, according to Poland's TVP Info, which first reported the story. Police searched both of the suspects' homes Tuesday. In addition, TVP Info says, Internal Security Agency officers searched Huawei's headquarters in Poland and an Orange office where Piotr D. worked. The government has evidence that the two suspects "cooperated with the Chinese services" as they conducted espionage against Poland, according to Stanislaw Zaryn, spokesman for the special services branch, in a tweet about the case.
Still, those with totalitarian powers are much more ripe for pervasive abuse.

First Post.
I can already hear the whattaboutism fomenting in the FUD machine.
No doubt Donald would be a spy for China if he had a tower project there - in a traitor's heartbeat. He's probably jabbing his fat faggot fingers into a secret Huawei phone sexting Putin as we speak.
China is a criminal cabal. Anything that government owns ought to be fully boycotted, not unequally half-ass tariff'ed. Trump is a joke.
Polish Police Arrest Huawei Executive On Suspicion Of Spying For China
They are trying everything to slow down Huawei. They will fail in my opinion as Huawei is a major 5G patent holder.
Sekret locations of chicken coups. There is nothing of value to be had there, honestly.
I await this headline.
You're a blathering fool. They arrested an Orange Polska (telecom co) worker who was working with the Huawei employee to access information for China's government. They have a very strong case against them.
Fuck Huawei and every single faggot apologist in their eye sockets in a Chinese prison.
Are we going to bring back the coalition of the willing again?
They didn't act (and never will) on the Drumpf traitor faggot's whims. That's exclusively for craven and spineless Republican cowards. Poland made a righteous bust here, Huawei is dirty ChiCom faggot shit.
It's not even the first time they've been caught spying red-handed.
Read more, inoculate yourself.
The arrested employee of Orange Poland was apparently working at some Polish security agency before getting his job at Orange. This is probably some bigger issue.
It needed to be said. I bet they were sure kidnapping The Princess would get them router back doors.
My God, it's Full of Source!

Yep. It's the Polish version of the NSA/FBI. This is a very serious case that has jack the fuck-all to do with Trump, except by virtue of it also involving foreign spies like his campaign and failed presidency.
China's government has tentacles in all companies it owns just for little things like this. Footprint = home turf, base of operations.
Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work, but I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder and Guilder to frame for it; I'm swamped.

What a wanker you are. Go back to Xi's knob and quit trolling on Slashdot.
Yes, there are obviously a lot of posters here that work either for Russian or Chinese gov. HackingBear is obviously working for China.
Everytime it comes to Russia or China, there is always a group of people who seem to equivocate the actions of the US with that country. However, this is a distinct difference: the US is not a dictatorship. Coincidentally, these are the same people who defend the US President which is a wannabe dictator. I wish they would just declare that they don't believe in democracy and they want the US to be a dictatorship too because there really is no other logical explanation for their behavior.
Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
Why would a world leader in communications technology be spying on Poland? What information were they trying to get, and from whom or where? This accusation makes no sense at all, and I think this is somehow tied to the U.S. effort to try to destroy Huawei because they're a leader in a lucrative market.
Why would the US think that strong arming Poland to arrest a Huawei exec and one of their own citizens just for fun would materially harm a Chinese global communications leader? Hint- it wouldnâ(TM)t.
Whaaaaaat??????
China acting unethically for it's own benefit?
I cannot believe this. They are the epitome of a non-repressive state.
Let's let the impartial Japanese finalize this for us.
BBC article says Huawei had ZERO to do w/ this according to Polish polish involved.
It is just unfortunate that the espionage was allegedly performed by one of their employees.
OTOH, where there is smoke, there is usually fire.
Greed abounds. The large Chinese population and Huawei large Corp with many advanced technical staff will unsurprisingly lead to a few falling into temptation. The broader challenge since this confronts Western Coâ(TM)s To is governance. Reason SO-X , Federal sentencing guidelines etc.. to put more pressure on leaders to have a system to Deter and detect improprieties. Interesting revelations going on with Nissan ( governance). Toshiba showed much worse governance. At least Nissan did not inflate profits. Tepco down played tsunami warnings coz of greed.... to name a few. Enron.
Why would anyone pay any shills to post on a pathetic useless site like this one is beyond me (sorry Slashdot owners, but you have reached your limits of growth long time ago).
How long did it take them to work out that Stanislaw Wang might not be Polish?
USB, USB, USB!
They're leaders in a lucrative market mostly because of corporate spying on Nortel.
