China ‘resolutely opposes’ UK spying allegations

“The so-called claim that China is conducting espionage activities against the UK is pure fabrication,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told a news conference.UK police said at the weekend they had arrested a man in his twenties at his home in Edinburgh for spying, with the Sunday Times reporting he was a researcher in Britain’s parliament.

According to researchers and Western intelligence officials, China has become adept at hacking rival nations’ digital systems to gather trade secrets. In the technology sector, there are concerns that China’s state-linked firms would be obliged to share intel with their government. One of the most high-profile cases was that of Ji Chaoqun, who was in January sentenced to eight years in a US prison for sharing information on possible recruitment targets with Chinese intelligence.

In 2020, a US court jailed Raytheon engineer Wei Sun — a Chinese national and naturalized US citizen — for bringing sensitive information about an American missile system into China on a company laptop.
