Rishi Sunak condemns Chinese espionage arrests, calls for clear boundaries

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has expressed "deep concern" about "Chinese interference in British parliamentary democracy" to his Chinese counterpart, following the arrests of two men on espionage charges. One of the men, a parliamentary researcher with links to several Conservative MPs, was arrested along with another man in March. Sunak conveyed his concerns to a senior Chinese official, highlighting the alleged links between the arrested man and high-profile figures in the UK government. This comes after previous cases of Chinese government agents engaging in political interference activities in the UK.
