The General Staff of Poland is preparing a document that would ban the entry of private vehicles produced in China into the territory of the country’s military units and institutions.
The measure is motivated by national security concerns, Polish Radio reported.
According to Armed Forces officials, modern Chinese vehicles are equipped with a large number of electronic systems and sensors that can collect data from the surrounding environment. The information potentially acquired includes photographic and video images, audio recordings and vehicle geolocation data.
In the Polish Army’s assessment, this data set could be exploited for espionage purposes, especially in military-sensitive areas. For this reason, the restriction would not only affect the interior of military barracks and installations, but also nearby car parks used by civilian personnel, military personnel and visitors.
Poland’s initiative follows a trend also observed in other countries. In November 2025, Israel has begun seizing Chinese-made official vehicles used by officers, citing similar security risks and the protection of sensitive information.
The proposal is still under development, but reflects growing concerns, in the European and international context, about the use of technologies integrated into modern vehicles and their possible use for strategic data collection.
