MI5 – we are in a new era – follows China alleged spies

MI5 – we are in a new era

Chinese state operatives present a daily national security threat to the UK, the head of MI5 Sir Ken McCallum has said.

In a speech, he said MI5 had intervened operationally to disrupt Chinese activity of national security concern in the past week.

Sir Ken addressed a row over the collapse of a case involving alleged spying on behalf of China in the UK. The MI5 chief said the alleged activity was disrupted by MI5 and that it was “frustrating when prosecutions fall through”.

The government and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) are facing questions over the collapse of the case.

The CPS dropped the case last month after deciding the evidence did not show China a threat to national security.
