On January 8, 2019, Polish authorities arrested two men and charged them with spying for China. Wang Weijing, a sales director for Huawei in Poland, and Piotr Durbajlo, a former employee of Poland’s internal security agency who then worked for a French telecommunications company, face up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Durbajlo reportedly worked on constructing safeguard systems for classified Polish government networks, and he had traveled to China on multiple occasions with Wang, including at least once to Huawei’s headquarters. Wang had served in China’s embassy in Poland before working for Huawei. Under PRC law, Huawei is obligated to participate in national intelligence work, has been credibly accused of cooperation with PRC intelligence agencies, and is owned ultimately by a trade union entity likely controlled by the CCP. Huawei has since fired Wang from his job with the company, but Polish government officials have highlighted this episode as evidence of the risks of allowing unrestricted Huawei access to 5G infrastructure in the country.
