Company fires worker accused of spying

BEIJING — Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei has fired an employee who was arrested in Poland on charges of spying for the Chinese government, saying in a statement late Saturday that the worker had brought “disrepute” to the company.

Huawei said the alleged actions that the employee, Wang Weijing, had been accused of had nothing to do with the company.

Polish authorities announced the arrests of Wang and a Polish telecommunications worker Friday. That came at a time of growing concern among the United States and its allies about Chinese technology suppliers and after the December arrest in Canada of Huawei’s chief financial officer.
