    This comes just over a month after the UK charged two men with spying for China. UK police have accused them of giving “articles, notes, documents or information” to a foreign state, while China has called the allegations “malicious slander”.

    Lol, this kind of makes me wonder about whether the guy ever was a UK spy or if the CCP just arrested him to make some public display of retaliation for losing their own spies. Not putting it past the UK to have recruited him, but China has always had a habit of saying literally anything to try and save face.
