China Detains Foreign Consultant Spying for MI6
China's Ministry of State Security has detained a foreigner accused of spying for MI6, the British Secret Intelligence Service. The alleged spy, identified as Huang, was in charge of a foreign consultancy and had been recruited by MI6, providing classified national secrets to the British government. This disclosure is part of China's campaign to counter espionage, amid tensions with the West over intelligence efforts and a crackdown on stealing state secrets. The Chinese leadership has intensified efforts to mobilize the public in counter-intelligence and broadened the definition of espionage under its revised anti-espionage law.
