Beijing was on Monday publicly blamed by the UK Government for targeting the elections watchdog.

Oliver Dowden said he could guarantee the elections this year would be safe from Chinese cyber attacks and insisted UK national security would not be put at risk by Chinese-made smart vehicles.

Speaking to the PA news agency later on Monday, he expressed confidence the electoral process would be safe from Chinese espionage.“That is not to say there isn’t an increasingly hostile landscape against which all elections around the world are being conducted.” The UK’s increased pressure on China came amid similar action from the US, which indicted several Chinese individuals accused of malicious cyber operations on Monday.
