China Accuses UK Spy of Accessing Its State Secrets

China has announced that it has uncovered a British spy whom it accused of passing on state secrets.

The Ministry of State Security stated on Monday that it had discovered that the head of a foreign consultancy was spying for the United Kingdom’s MI6 intelligence service.

The Chinese spy agency announced the detection of the espionage on its WeChat social media account.

It stated that MI6 had used foreigner Huang Moumou to collect secrets and information.

According to Beijing, MI6 instructed Huang to enter China on several occasions and to use his public identity to collect China-related intelligence for British spying.
