Huawei offers to build cyber security center in Poland

China’s Huawei has offered to build a cyber security center in Poland where last month authorities arrested a Chinese employee of the telecommunications firm along with a former Polish security official on spying charges.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media.

“We are ready to establish a cyber security center in Poland if authorities accept this as a trusted solution,” Tonny Bao, head of Huawei in Poland, told a news conference on Wednesday.

Huawei has set up information security labs in Germany and Britain aimed at building confidence that its equipment does not contain “back doors” for Chinese intelligence services.

Poland’s government is set to exclude Huawei equipment from its future 5G network over concerns first raised in the United States that Huawei technology could be equipped with such back doors, sources told Reuters.

Huawei’s regional public affairs director, Austin Zhang, said there is no reason for the Polish government to exclude the Chinese firm from its future 5G network development.

“If it does happen ... we will try all our means to protect our business and reputation in Poland,” Zhang said.

The United States wants to steer people away from Huawei towards Western products because of its concerns over the security of the Chinese company’s technology, the U.S. envoy to the European Union said last week.

Huawei denies allegations that its technology could be used for spying and the Chinese executive from Huawei arrested last month in Poland on suspicion of spying has also said he is not guilty.

Still, the company faces increasing international scrutiny over the matter.

Last week the company was excluded from a tender to build a Czech tax portal after the country’s cyber watchdog warned of possible security threats posed by the telecoms supplier.

Separately the U.S. Justice Department has charged Huawei with conspiring to violate U.S. sanctions on Iran and with stealing robotic technology from T-Mobile US Inc.
