"Chinese Intelligence Agency Uncovers UK Espionage Involving Foreign Consultant"

China's Ministry of State Security revealed an espionage case involving the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) using a foreigner in China to collect intelligence, prompting heated exchanges between the two countries over accusations of spying. China accused MI6 of instructing the individual to use his public identity as a cover to gather China-related intelligence and provided espionage training and equipment. The British government has denied these claims and accused Chinese spies of targeting its officials, leading to a back-and-forth of condemnations and warnings from both sides.
