Moolenaar: Latest Spy Case Another Reason Why UK Shouldn’t Allow China’s Mega Embassy

Chairman John Moolenaar of the Select Committee on China made the following statement on reports that British authorities have arrested three people with connections to Parliament for spying for China:

“The British government’s failure to properly prosecute alleged spies last fall, coupled with its approval of China’s mega embassy only emboldens the CCP’s espionage activities in the UK. As one of our closest security partners with access to American intelligence on China, the UK’s commitment to protecting sensitive information must be beyond doubt. These cases should be prosecuted thoroughly, and the UK should rescind its approval of the mega embassy."
