The Czech Ministry of Defense is offering its soldiers discounted purchasing opportunities for Volvo vehicles, owned by Chinese Geely, while simultaneously banning the same vehicles from entering military bases due to suspected espionage risks. The Signal Corps (Spojovací vojska) stated this contradiction is normal, explaining that personnel benefits and security checks are completely separate processes. The Ministry also clarified that it merely acted as an interface for the offer and did not conduct a security assessment.
