Huawei fires sales director:

The Chinese tech company Huawei on Saturday announced it has fired a sales director who was arrested in Poland and charged with spying for China, saying he has brought the firm’s reputation “into disrepute.”

The company said it has “decided to terminate the employment of Mr Wang Weijing, who was arrested on suspicion of breaking Polish law.”

Polish authorities said Friday they have arrested Wang, a Chinese citizen and former diplomat, along with a Polish cyber-security expert who had held several top government cybersecurity jobs and also worked at the telecom company Orange.

Huawei said Wang’s actions “have no relation to the company” and that he was fired because “the incident in question has brought Huawei into disrepute.” (AP)
