UK jails ex-border officer and HK official for spying for China
Two men were jailed for assisting a foreign intelligence service on behalf of Chinese authorities: Chi Leung 'Peter' Wai, a Border Force officer at Heathrow, received 10 years (six for assisting a foreign intelligence service and four for misconduct in public office) and Chung Biu 'Bill' Yuen, a former HK police officer and HKETO London manager, eight years. They ran a 'shadow policing operation' to track Hong Kong dissidents in the UK, with Wai even accessing Home Office systems; the case highlights concerns about foreign interference and was cited as justification for using the National Security Act to counter such activity.
