After the researcher’s arrest, the UK PM voiced “significant concerns” about China’s “interference” in democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the arrest of a parliamentary researcher for espionage, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak informed premier Li Qiang on Sunday that he had “significant concerns” about China’s “interference” in democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the G20 summit in India on Sunday, Sunak expressed to Li Qiang his “significant concerns” about Chinese meddling in the parliamentary democracy of the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sunday Times said that the man was a researcher in the British parliament when UK police announced Saturday that they had detained a man in his twenties for espionage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two males, one in his twenties and the other in his thirties, were detained by Metropolitan Police Service officers in March on suspicion of violating the Official Secrets Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sunday Times reported that the suspect, who was in his 20s and working as a parliamentary researcher, had connections with Conservative Party lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tom Tugendhat, the minister of security, and Alicia Kearns, the head of the Commons foreign affairs committee, were among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
