In case anyone is thinking Huawei is being persecuted, this case may be enlightening. A Wall Street Journal article starts this way, but not all the facts are known yet: "Polish authorities detained and charged the sales director of Huawei Technologies Co.’s local office, a Chinese national, for allegedly conducting high-level espionage on behalf of a Chinese spy agency, amid widening global scrutiny by Washington and its allies of the technology giant." The person detained is not named, but that won't be long coming since his position is identified. The article also says he was "a graduate of one of China’s top intelligence schools." That makes him a probable spy.
Two Polish officials have also been detained and the interesting thing about them is one has an association with the encrypted network used by Poland's leadership. What a nice thing to have access to.
Huawei is in for a lot of trouble on this one. Whatever they are doing is Poland is about to be identified in court documents and soon become fodder for all kinds of other speculation about what else these guys are up to. Wait for the other shoe to drop.
