Chairman John Moolenaar of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party commented on recent reports that British authorities have arrested three individuals with connections to Parliament for allegedly spying for China.
Moolenaar stated: “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.”
The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party is a bipartisan committee within the U.S. House of Representatives. The committee examines economic and security challenges posed by the Chinese Communist Party and develops policy recommendations, as described on its official website. In addition, it proposes legislation aimed at strengthening U.S. competitiveness against China.
