The Polish Ministry of Defense prohibits vehicles manufactured in China near military bases to prevent cyber espionage and data leaks.

The Polish Ministry of Defense has announced a ban on vehicles manufactured in China, which will no longer have access to military units and their vicinity.

Minister Wladzslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz justified the decision by citing global security trends, mentioning that China has also banned American electric vehicles in its military installations. The measure, proposed by the Army General Staff, aims to reduce the risks of cyber espionage and protect sensitive data, considering concerns related to the integrated digital systems in Chinese vehicles. Additionally, vehicle owners are required to disconnect monitoring devices before entering military installations.
