"PM Sunak Confronts Chinese Interference in UK Democracy and Espionage Threats"

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak expressed concern over potential Chinese interference in Britain's parliamentary democracy during a meeting with Chinese Premier Li Qiang at a G20 Summit in India. This comes after the reported arrest of two individuals, including a researcher in the British parliament, on suspicion of spying for China. Sunak, who has sought to engage with China while also criticizing it on various issues, raised his strong concerns about interference with Premier Li. The Chinese embassy in the UK denied the allegations, calling them fabricated and malicious slander. Critics argue that China's dismissive attitude questions Sunak's approach to dialogue with the country.
