AFP, BEIJINGChina is seeking consular access for Huawei Technologies Co (華為) employee Wang Weijing (王偉晶), who was arrested in Poland over espionage allegations, state media reported yesterday. The men are suspected of having “worked for Chinese services and to the detriment of Poland,” Polish special services spokesman Stanislaw Zaryn said. At Huawei, Wang worked as a public relations director for more than five years before taking on the role of sales director in 2017. Canadian authorities had not previously said that he was protected by diplomatic immunity, but Trudeau asserted that on Friday. “It is unfortunate that China has arbitrarily and unfairly detained two Canadian citizens, and indeed in one of the cases is not respecting the principles of diplomatic immunity,” Trudeau said.
