The Chinese government-run Global Times editor has had quite a few fascinating takes on this matter.
First, he demeans Poland:
Anything in Poland that is worthy of stealing for Huawei? Polish national security department flatters itself. Is it something to be ashamed of if one country doesn't arrest a Chinese spy? https://t.co/6okXqh7rCL
