MI5 Chief Warns of Daily China Spying Threat to UK Security
The head of MI5, Sir Ken McCallum, has warned that Chinese state operatives pose a daily national security threat to the UK. In a speech, he revealed that MI5 had intervened operationally to disrupt Chinese activity of national security concern in the past week.
McCallum's comments come as the government and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) face questions over the collapse of a case involving alleged spying on behalf of China in the UK. The CPS dropped the case last month, citing insufficient evidence that China posed a threat to national security.
However, witness statements from the UK's deputy national security adviser Matthew Collins contradict this claim, stating that Chinese agents are actively carrying out spying operations against the UK.
The revelation has sparked concerns about the government's handling of the case and its implications for UK security. McCallum's intervention is seen as a significant development in the ongoing saga.
This is a developing story, with further details expected to emerge in the coming hours and days.
