Chinese Private Security Contractors: New Trends and Future Prospects: (…The development of Chinese private security companies (PSC) has been shaped by tragic incidents involving Chinese nationals abroad. First emerging in the 1990s, Chinese PSCs became more prominent after 2004, when 11 Chinese construction workers were killed in Afghanistan by the Taliban (China.org.cn, June 10, 2004). Following a series of subsequent incidents in East Timor, Chad, Lebanon, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Thailand, Haiti, and later Libya and Egypt, the necessity to protect Chinese nationals abroad became a more pressing necessity. These incidents involving Chinese nationals resulted in the rapid rise of the Chinese PSC industry.)

There are no major security services companies controlled by PRC-related entities in Poland. The takeover of the largest Polish security company in 2017 by a PRC-related entity was not completed. Polish market is very fragmented with a large number of very small companies. There are over 2000 entities registered in KRS, which specialize in security services (excluding security systems providers but including companies removed from the registry) and nearly 500 companies providing servicing security systems, so some PRC-linked involvement is possible. However, it should be noted that the PRC companies Hikvision and Dahua are fast expanding providers of security equipment and they also supply public institutions.
