China Claims It Caught a Foreign Consultant Spying for U.K.’s MI6
TimeJAN 2024
Chinese security agencies foresee an increase in foreign intelligence operations in the coming years, as China is expected to surpass the US in several sectors including economics, military capacity, science, technology, and finance. MI6 has even admitted that it will be targeting China in the upcoming years. China is dedicated to tracking down and blocking foreign agents who attempt to obtain classified information.
While all nations engage in espionage, China does so on an unprecedented scale. Beijing needs to stop stealing industry secrets from foreign companies and research universities, and instead focus on its own sovereign innovation. The threat of Chinese espionage is rising, and its potential consequences are becoming more dangerous.
