Prince Andrew's Ties to Alleged Chinese Spy Lead to UK Ban

An alleged Chinese spy, known as H6, who developed a close relationship with Prince Andrew, has been banned from re-entering the UK after a national security court ruling. H6 was suspected of being involved in influence operations for the Chinese Communist Party, leveraging his connection with the Duke of York. The court upheld the decision to exclude H6, citing potential risks to UK national security. The Chinese embassy criticized the ruling, dismissing it as part of a broader effort to smear China.

"Indian Police Release Suspected Chinese Spy Pigeon After 8 Months"

Indian police released a suspected Chinese spy pigeon, which had been detained for eight months, after discovering it was actually an open-water racing bird from Taiwan that had escaped and made its way to India. The pigeon was found near a port in Mumbai with what appeared to be Chinese words tied to its legs, leading to suspicions of espionage. This incident follows previous cases of birds coming under police suspicion in India, including a pigeon released in 2020 and another taken into custody in 2016.

"UK-China Espionage Scandal: Parliament Researcher Arrested, Trade Relations at Risk"

Two men, including a researcher working in the British Parliament, were arrested in March on suspicion of spying for China. The arrests, revealed over the weekend, have sparked concerns about Chinese espionage and raised questions about the government's response. The researcher, who had access to the Houses of Commons and Lords, denies the allegations. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak expressed his concerns to China's Premier Li Qiang at the G-20 summit, while China called the charges "fabricated." The investigation is ongoing, and the House of Commons is scheduled to discuss the matter.

"Leaked Pentagon data exposes up to 4 more Chinese spy balloons"

Previously unreported top-secret intelligence documents reveal that US intelligence agencies were aware of up to four additional Chinese spy balloons, including one that flew over a US carrier strike group and another that crashed in the South China Sea. The leaked documents also provide the most detailed government assessment to date of Killeen-23, the Chinese spy balloon that flew over the continental US in January and February, and two balloons from previous years, labeled Bulger-21 and Accardo-21. The documents raise questions about the true capabilities of the balloons and the decision to let them fly over the US before shooting them down.
