Home Sec Makes Statement On Security Following Chinese 'Spy' Revelation

UK

Home Secretary Priti Patel is delivering a statement to the House of Commons on security following the revelation from MI5 that Christine Lee, a lawyer who had donated large amounts to a Labour MP, was an operative of the Chinese Communist Party.

  • Patel's statement said that “This type of activity has recently become more common with states operating covertly to interfere with our democracy", and that alerts about individuals with close ties to foreign powers can be expected "to become more commonplace".
  • The Chinese Embassy in the UK has refuted the allegations of spying, stating that the actions are simply "smearing and intimidation against the Chinese community in the UK".
  • Sino-British relations remain in a poor state in the aftermath of UK offers to provide pathways to British citizenship for large numbers of Hong Kong following the implementation of National Security law at the behest of Beijing.
