Poland: Huawei Employee Arrested over Spying Charge
---------------------------------------------------

In Poland, authorities arrested two men Friday on suspicion of
espionage, including a sales director for Chinese telecommunications
giant Huawei. Huawei, which is the world's second largest maker of
smartphones, announced Saturday that it fired Wang Weijing-who also
previously worked for the Chinese Consulate in Poland-saying he brought
the company "into disrepute." Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer
of Huawei and the daughter of the company's founder, is currently out on
bail in Canada after being arrested last month. She is facing possible
extradition to the United States over suspected violations of sanctions
against Iran.
