Alleged Chinese spy who befriended Prince Andrew is ‘tip of iceberg’, warns senior MP

UK ministers face pressure over Chinese spy scandal as MPs consider naming suspect

An alleged Chinese spy who forged a close relationship with Prince Andrew is just “the tip of the iceberg” of Beijing’s attempts to infiltrate the UK, a leading China-sceptic MP has warned.

Iain Duncan Smith, the former Conservative leader, who is seeking an urgent Commons question on Monday to quiz ministers about the issue, said Keir Starmer’s efforts to create better links with Beijing had involved the UK “showing a massive amount of weakness to China”.
