Breaking News: UK Vows Tough Action Against Chinese Espionage
The UK government has vowed to take tough action against Chinese espionage after a warning from MI5, the country's domestic security agency. Security Minister Dan Jarvis has stated that the government will not tolerate "covert and calculated" attempts to interfere with the UK's sovereign affairs.
According to an alert issued to MPs, peers, and parliamentary staff, MI5 has identified two LinkedIn profiles used by the Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS) to target individuals working in British politics. The profiles pose as "civilian recruitment headhunters" to solicit "insider insights" from their targets.
The alert was issued in response to concerns over the risk of Chinese espionage in the UK. The government has taken the warning seriously, with Minister Jarvis emphasizing the need to protect the country's sovereignty.
The Chinese embassy in the UK has denied the allegations, calling them "pure fabrication" and accusing the UK of a "self-staged charade." However, the UK government remains firm in its stance, with Minister Jarvis warning that the country will not tolerate such activities.
