China reveals a British spy operation News

She said China Its security services discovered another espionage incident in which the British Intelligence Service (MI6) used a foreigner in the country to collect secrets and information.

The Chinese Ministry of State Security announced – on its account on the “WeChat” social networking site, today, Monday – that a foreigner, referred to only by the surname “Huang”, was in charge of a foreign consulting agency. In 2015, British intelligence began a cooperative intelligence relationship with this person.

According to the statement, British intelligence then ordered Huang to enter China several times, and ordered him to use his public identity as a cover to collect China-related intelligence for British intelligence.

The Chinese government said that British intelligence provided Huang with professional training in Britain and elsewhere, and provided him with special spy equipment.

“After a careful investigation, state security services immediately discovered evidence of Huang’s involvement in espionage activities and took criminal coercive measures against him,” it added. The Chinese government did not reveal the consulting agency.

Recently, a researcher in the British Parliament denied that he was a Chinese spy, and China repeatedly denounced these accusations, and a Foreign Ministry spokesman said that they were “completely unfounded.”

China is taking strict measures against potential threats to its national security, and has uncovered several cases of espionage that it has seized in recent years.

The government also warned its citizens in the country and abroad of the dangers of falling into espionage activities.

China also launched a massive crackdown on foreign consulting firms and due diligence firms due to threats to disclose state secrets, which has raised concerns among foreign companies operating in the country.
