UK Expels Chinese Communist Party Spies Posing As Journalists

Three Chinese Communist Party spies falsely posing as journalists were expelled from Britain in the past year.

“The trio are understood to be intelligence officers for Beijing’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) and arrived in the country on journalism visas under the fake pretext of working in the media,” The Telegraph reported.
