Huawei has decided to terminate its contract with its sales executive Wang Weijing, who was arrested last Tuesday in Poland on charges of espionage. At the same time, a Polish judge has ordered Wang and another Polish citizen who was arrested together with him, to remain in detention for the next three months while the investigation continues. CGTN's Aljosa Milenkovic is in the Polish capital Warsaw and sends this report.

Shiny and sparkling street light decorations glitter in Warsaw's city center. In the distance, at the top of one of the buildings, a huge neon light logo for Huawei. It is just one of the many of its ads across Warsaw.

Huawei has a strong presence in this country. A presence, which after this arrest, might suffer a serious blow. Analysts are saying the timing for revealing this case of alleged espionage was not chosen by accident. They are pointing to the introduction of the 5G mobile network to the country.

PIOTR MIECZKOWSKI INDEPENDENT TELECOMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT "There are two legislations which are currently being drafted by the government. Both of them are being drafted around 5G, so it's a critical moment actually, a critical two months in Poland to talk about 5G."

During those two months Poland is about to decide whether it'll use Huawei or another western 5G technology.

Since Huawei is actively participating in introducing 5G technology to mobile networks in Poland, some are saying that this arrest is aimed at undermining its position in the 5G race.

Yet the Polish Internal Security Agency is downplaying the role of Huawei in this case.

STANISLAW ZARYN SPOKESMAN FOR THE INTERNAL SECURITY AGENCY "At this stage, the case concerns the two specific individuals who have been charged. One of them works for a Chinese telecommunications company, but at this point, this case and this investigation concerns only him and his collaboration with the Chinese intelligence services. It is not a procedure or investigation related to the company as such."

Regardless of distancing the alleged actions of Wang Weijing from Huawei, it is hard to imagine the company image will remain unscathed. The legal proceedings of this case will take months, and it'll take a long time to get to the bottom of it.

In the meantime, in some other Western countries, voices opposing Huawei's further involvement in the development of national 5G networks are growing.

With the so-called "Five Eyes" countries already blocking the company's participation in the introduction of 5G technology, pressure is mounting on other EU and NATO countries to do the same.

But not everybody is ready to follow in their footsteps.

ALJOSA MILENKOVIC WARSAW "Politicians here in Warsaw are mostly tight-lipped about this case of alleged espionage. Analysts say their silence apparently shows that nobody wants this to escalate any further, because the potential damage could hurt all sides. A price that hardly anybody here is willing to pay.
