**, Huawei's "big princess" Meng Wanzhou's appearance at Shenzhen Airport moved countless netizens. She wore a modest red dress, long black hair, smiled, and waved gracefully to everyone.
She returned to us with the most beautiful gesture, which made countless Chinese people feel extremely relieved and excited.
Meng Wanzhou has been illegally detained in Canada for 3 years, but with the unremitting efforts of my country, she finally returned safely. Meng Wanzhou choked up and said: "If faith has a color, it must be a blazing Chinese red!" ”
At this moment, everyone can feel the strong sense of security and pride of the motherland. However, on this exciting night, a Huawei executive let out a seemingly inopportune exclamation: "Meng Wanzhou is back, but what about Wang Weijing?" ”
So, who is Wang Weijing? Why did Huawei's top management make such an exclamation on the day Meng Wanzhou returned to China?
Wang Weijing was the head of public relations at Huawei's representative office in Poland. On January 10, 2019, he was detained by the Polish National Security Service on suspicion of espionage in Poland, along with Piot, Poland's former telecommunications department.
The mysterious identity of a spy seems omnipotent in many **, and it seems to be the result of long-term professional training. However, this is not the case with Wang Weijing. In 1981, he was born in an ordinary family in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province.
At the age of 19, he was admitted to Beijing University of Foreign Chinese and became the first college student in the village.
Weijing Wang, a scholar with a passion for the Polish language, focuses on studying Polish at Beijing Foreign Chinese University. During his four years of university, with his unremitting efforts, he finally won the full scholarship of Beijing Foreign University and the opportunity to study at the University of Lodz in Poland.
After returning to China in 2005, he worked as an amber salesman in Asian Chingammerie*** before moving to Chengdu, Sichuan Province to devote himself to the Chinese wine sales industry.
These two experiences not only helped him improve his Polish language skills in an all-round way, but also developed his social skills. As an outstanding graduate of a key university, he is unwilling to waste his youth in a position where he cannot fully exert his self-worth.
So, just three months later, he chose to leave his job.
After Wang Weijing resigned, he hoped to find new development opportunities in Beijing. At this time, he learned that the national consulate in Gdansk, Poland, was recruiting a consular attaché to translate into Polish.
This position is highly compatible with his professional background, and joining the consulate means that he will become a member of the country, representing the country and communicating with other countries, which has always been his dream.
Therefore, he actively signed up for this talent selection and was successfully hired by the consulate. However, the reality was not as rosy as he had hoped. The work of the consular attaché was relatively leisurely, and despite this, he could only be promoted to the rank of third secretary.
After five years in the consulate, he realized that his career path seemed to have hit the ceiling. Therefore, he decided to submit his resignation to the consulate and gave up the post of deputy section.
At the beginning of 2011, Wang Weijing ended his trip in Poland and returned to his hometown of Shijiazhuang. After spending a happy Spring Festival with his family, he received a job offer from Huawei.
For many people, working at Huawei is a dream, and Wang Weijing felt Huawei's sincere invitation. Huawei said that the company plans to expand into overseas markets, and Poland is one of the target markets, so they need a group of highly qualified people who are proficient in Polish and have an in-depth understanding of Poland.
After returning to China, Wang Weijing originally planned to set up his own company, but because entrepreneurship requires a lot of capital and technology investment, when Huawei, a domestic brand with rapid development momentum, threw an olive branch, he felt that he finally had the opportunity to give full play to his ability, so he happily accepted the invitation and immediately went to Huawei's headquarters for training.
1.In June 2011, after a three-month internship, Wang Weijing was sent to Huawei's Poland Representative Office as the Director of Public Relations Department and Sales Director.
However, eight years later, on January 10, 2019, his ambitions came to an abrupt end in Poland. He was arrested and detained by the Polish *** Bureau, and since then he has lived a life without seeing the light of day.
2.What did Wang Weijing do in Poland? Why was he arrested at the same time as Piot, the former Polish telecommunications department, and what kind of relationship was hidden between them?
Let's do it.
The key factor for Wang Weijing in Poland is his deep friendship with Piot, deputy director of the Polish Telecommunications Agency. In order to help Huawei expand the market in Poland, Wang Weijing not only has to inspect the market situation, but also cooperates with relevant Polish departments, so she often needs to participate in various meetings and social activities to establish a network.
In 2013, Wang Weijing met Piot at a conference, when Piot was the first in the digital department of the Polish Telecommunications Bureau, and had visited Huawei's Shenzhen headquarters as a representative of the Polish Telecommunications Bureau.
They found that in addition to the common topic of Huawei, they also chatted very speculatively about other topics, and after this meeting, the relationship between the two was sublimated from ordinary communication to close friends.
In Poland, Piot, a warm-hearted native, has always given Wang Weijing a lot of care and help, which makes Wang Weijing full of gratitude to Piot. On important holidays, the two families always get together and have a happy time.
Due to the special status of the two, one is a Polish company executive and the other is a Chinese business executive, they have always kept an appropriate distance and never touched on the topic of work secrets.
Because of this, the relationship between the two has become closer and closer, as if they were brothers. However, when Piot left the Polish telecommunications sector, doom struck. Piot worked as a consultant for the French company Orange Telecom, and in September 2018, Huawei and Orange Telecom partnered to build the first 5G base station in a Polish city.
The Polish authorities seem to have taken note of the incident and have begun to closely monitor and investigate Piot and Wang. On the morning of January 8, the staff of the Polish *** Bureau raided their residence and company respectively, not only detained them, but also conducted a thorough search of their offices, taking away some documents and data.
On the evening of January 10, the Polish *** Bureau filed a lawsuit with a district court in Warsaw on suspicion of espionage, saying that it seriously threatened Poland's *** However, the two firmly refused to admit the charges, so the court could only sentence them to three months of detention, and more evidence was needed to confirm the charges.
Although the charges of espionage have not yet been determined, the Polish TV TVP has directly accused them of espionage in a news report on January 11, which has attracted widespread international attention.
On January 11, the Chinese Embassy in Poland immediately met with Poland to ask them to handle the case fairly in accordance with the law, and asked Poland to provide a safe detention environment for Wang Weijing and protect all his legitimate rights and interests.
At a time when this incident caused widespread discussion, someone discovered a strange phenomenon: when the spokesman of the Polish *** Bureau, Zary, announced the news on social platforms, he @ was not any official account in Poland, but 6 accounts of the United States and NATO.
What role did the United States and NATO play in this event? Since Wang Weijing was arrested by Poland**, and it was only a short month since Meng Wanzhou was in Canada**, and Wang Weijing and Meng Wanzhou were both employees of Huawei, this can't help but make people wonder if these two things are just coincidences?
Shrouded in suspicion, Huawei Group has recently fallen into a turmoil. The fact that the United States seems to be behind the matter makes one wonder if this is a means for the United States to use its influence to force other countries to suppress Huawei.
There is a backlog of doubts in the minds of people familiar with the matter, and Huawei's reaction has made the matter even more confusing. On the evening of January 11, Huawei's official account on social media platforms issued a statement emphasizing that the company has been abiding by the laws and regulations of the country where it is located, and said that it would not comment for the time being because the information about the incident is not yet clear.
At the same time, in an interview with Reuters, the spokesman of the Polish *** Bureau, Zary, also made it clear that Wang Weijing ** was due to his personal behavior and had nothing to do with Huawei.
Huawei took an unexpected action on January 12. Although there is no conclusive evidence that Wang Weijing engaged in espionage, Huawei officials decided to dismiss her as head of public relations at its Polish branch.
This has undoubtedly had a huge impact on Huawei's reputation. Many people think Huawei's approach is cold-blooded and ruthless, but that may not be the case. In fact, Huawei was under tremendous pressure at the time.
If action is not taken quickly, the incident could spill over from the political to the economic. The United States is looking for all kinds of excuses to suppress China's economic development, and if this matter becomes a lever for the United States, it will undoubtedly greatly hinder the healthy development of China's economy.
The dismissal of Wang Weijing is also another protection that allows him to defend his rights and interests as a Chinese citizen. Wang Weijing's maintenance of Huawei in an interview afterwards also proved this.
Although Huawei firmly supports and trusts Wang Weijing, only the motherland can help him when he faces difficulties. Since the day of the incident on January 14, the Chinese Embassy in Poland has been trying to communicate with Poland, hoping to visit Wang Weijing and understand his specific situation.
However, our requests have been thwarted. According to the latest news, Wang Weijing has been undergoing secret interrogation by Poland**, during which he may have used illegal means that are not in line with humanitarianism.
Hua Chunying said at a press conference on January 14 that Poland should allow the Chinese consul to visit, and asked the Polish side to report in detail to the Chinese consul as soon as possible the reason for Wang Weijing.
The dispute between China and Poland lasted for a week, during which Wang Weijing was given the freedom to communicate with the outside world. He immediately stated his innocence on Polish social ** and considered the reasons for his arrest by Polish ** unfounded.
The three-month detention period passed quickly, but Poland** did not release Wang Weijing in accordance with the court's decision. They applied to the court for continued detention on the grounds that the case was too complicated and could not be clarified in just three months.
As a result, Wang Weijing was trapped in prison by the Polish side, and there is still no time for her freedom.
During the investigation into Wang's case, Polish officials often used words such as "probable" and "suspected" in an attempt to find evidence to convict him, but were reluctant to release him easily.
*Only use ambiguous language to guide the public**. For example, Poland** said in an interview with Reuters that it had found evidence that might prove Wang Weijing's espionage, but could not express it in definitive language or provide concrete evidence.
Wang Weijing's lawyer, Yankovsky, believes that Wang Weijing is only a victim who was implicated in the US crackdown on Huawei. Under Polish law, Wang Weijing may be required to stay in prison for at least two years, and may be extended if the Polish authorities later request a further investigation.
Regrettably, Piot, who was at the same time as Wang Weijing, was released on bail on July 5, 2019, while Wang Weijing faced a three-month extension of detention.
A court in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, has clearly ruled that Piot was not a spy, so Wang Weijing, who has been implicated, should be eligible to be released on bail. However, it is shocking that Poland has rejected this reasonable demand.
Subsequently, Wang Weijing's detention period was repeatedly extended, but the so-called decisive evidence in the mouth of Poland ** never appeared. Now, Mr. Wang is in prison, spending no more than an hour with his wife and young children a month.
What's even more distressing is that they have to be accompanied and monitored by relevant personnel throughout the whole process, which makes the life of Wang Weijing's family extremely depressing. In this regard, many righteous Polish netizens expressed great sympathy for Wang Weijing.
They questioned how it was possible to order the arrest of a citizen without evidence. They also sternly denounced the Wang Weijing incident as a scandal of Poland's contempt for human rights, and the detention of two or three years is naked evidence of the crime.
After her release on June 21, 2021, Wang Weijing has been re-detained for two months and has spent more than three years in a Polish prison. We can't predict the date of his return, but we can have confidence, because Meng Wanzhou's successful return is the best hope.
Our motherland will not sit idly by, and her children will never be at the mercy of others. We have reason to believe that a strong motherland, a fair spirit of law, and a just way will surely enable Wang Weijing to clear up her grievances and return safely.
We just have to wait patiently, confident that he will be able to regain his freedom and return to the arms of his motherland.
