BEIJING — China on Monday accused Britain's Secret Intelligence Service of recruiting a couple who worked for the central government to spy for the UK, adding to months of mutual espionage allegations between Beijing and Western powers.The Ministry of State Security said in a post on its official WeChat that MI6 operatives convinced a man surnamed Wang, who worked in a 'core confidential role' in the central state apparatus, to defect along with his wife, surnamed Zhou.
'After learning that Wang 'had a strong desire for money,' they then approached him to provide well-paid consulting services that came to involve the internal workings of central state agencies, the ministry said.MI6 personnel later revealed their identities to Wang and directed him to return to China to collect intelligence, convincing him to coerce Zhou into doing the same.
