Suspicion toward Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei is continuing to grow globally, as another of the company’s executives, sales director Stanislaw Wang, has been arrested on suspicion of spying for China: “The government has evidence that the two suspects ‘cooperated with the Chinese services’ as they conducted espionage against Poland.” He could be imprisoned for 10 years if convicted.
It's the latest high-profile criminal case involving Huawei, coming after the arrest in Canada of its chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, who is also the daughter of the telecom equipment company's founder. Meng was detained at the request of the US on suspicion that she had been seeking to circumvent sanctions on Iran. The US has also been pushing to try to curtail Huawei's influence, warning about the company's possible ties to Chinese intelligence and calling on countries to exclude the company as they build new 5G networks.
