UK: MI5 Warns Lawmakers of Chinese Spies Posing as Headhunters on LinkedIn | FirstpostLive | N18G
Britain’s MI5 has issued a new warning to members of Parliament, saying Chinese intelligence officers are posing as recruiters and headhunters to contact people working in and around Westminster. According to the alert, operatives linked to China’s Ministry of State Security have used platforms like LinkedIn to build relationships, gather sensitive information and influence political activity. The Chinese embassy has rejected the allegations as fabricated. The warning follows the collapse of a major espionage case involving two British nationals accused of spying for Beijing. The incident has renewed debate over UK security and relations with China.
