Huawei now manages Spain's sensitive wiretap data. Other EU countries say that puts the entire bloc at risk. Spain's interior ministry signed a €12.3 million contract giving Huawei responsibility for storing and managing judicial wiretap data. One EU lawmaker called it "poisoning the well of European intelligence sharing," not just a Spanish problem. Spain's defense ministry denies any risk. This sits inside a much bigger pattern. PM Pedro Sánchez has visited Xi Jinping four times in four years, more than any other EU leader. Chinese investment in Spain has doubled in the past year. Chery built its first European factory there. CATL and Hithium are placing battery gigafactories in Zaragoza and Navarra, localizing production specifically to dodge EU tariffs on Chinese EVs. Shanghai was just named the first Asian city of honor at Barcelona's biggest festival. China is also getting the public on its side. 54% of Spaniards now view China favorably, compared to just 30% for the US. Other EU states see the danger clearly. On his last Beijing trip, Sánchez met with the founder of a Chinese wind-turbine company whose UK factory plan had just been blocked on national-security grounds elsewhere in Europe.
