The UK’s intelligence agency MI5 has issued a stern warning to lawmakers about Chinese spies posing as headhunters on LinkedIn. This alert follows reports that Chinese agents are targeting British parliamentarians with financial incentives, attempting to recruit them for espionage activities. The government emphasizes that such covert and calculated efforts to interfere in UK democracy will not be tolerated. In response, measures are being put in place to counter the threat posed by Chinese espionage in the political domain. MPs are urged to be vigilant in their online interactions, especially on professional networking sites.
