China Accuses MI6 of Recruiting Chinese Couple as Spies
ai generated text
China has accused the UK's Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) of recruiting a Chinese couple to spy on behalf of Britain. According to China's Ministry of State Security, MI6 operatives convinced Wang, a Chinese citizen, to defect and begin working for the UK in 2015 after he started a course of study. The ministry claims that spies began cultivating Wang and eventually recruited him, with his partner Zhou joining him as a British spy later on.
Under Wang's strong instigation, Zhou agreed to collect intelligence... and he and his wife became British spies.
Wang was initially hesitant but could not resist [the operatives'] repeated persuasion, enticement and even coercion, and eventually agreed.
Recently, after careful investigation, the national security organs uncovered a major espionage case in which the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) instigated a couple, Wang and Zhou, who were staff members of a central state agency of China, to defect.
Sometimes these do not appear... The opacity of [the Chinese Communist Party] including its judicial system, especially when it comes to espionage cases, can make understanding the details of the case especially challenging.
