China’s Interference: Poaching British Nationals in Key Roles

The British government has warned that China is trying to poach British nationals in sensitive jobs, saying some Chinese actions “cross the line of interference”.

China is targeting Britain’s communications, aerospace, artificial intelligence (AI), engineering, energy and academia sectors through investment and espionage, according to a four-year investigation by Parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee. .

Following the findings of the investigation, the government said: “We are aware that China was attempting to poach key British nationals and citizens of allied countries with highly sensitive information and experience under a recruitment program.” The targets are said to cover a wide range of sectors of society, including government, military, and industry.
