A Chinese spy is suspected of infiltrating a meeting of British lawmakers and exiled Hong Kong dissidents in Parliament earlier this month.
The infiltrator refused to identify himself or the organisation he represented when pressed, while claiming that he was a tourist who was led to the room by an official tour group, despite that the area being described as not being on a tour route.
Ultimately he left after being confronted, however, those inside the room believed that he was, in reality, an agent of the communist regime in Beijing sent to intimidate the Hong Kong activists present, some of whom have had £100,000 arrest bounties placed on their heads by the CCP-controlled Hong Kong police.
LONDON, ENGLAND – JUNE 12: Activist Finn Lau speaks at a rally for Hong Kong democracy at the Marble Arch on June 12, 2021 in London, England. One such activist, Finn Lau, the founder of Stand with Hong Kong and Hong Kong Liberty, who fled his home city to Britain after being arrested at a protest in 2020, said: “I believe this man was a CCP informer. This is one of the remotest committee rooms in Parliament. And it is on the top floor. It is not a coincidence that a random Chinese tourist was outside the room at the exact right time and was attempting to access the event.
“The incident is just the latest example of CCP harassment Hong Kongers like me have faced. But I will not be deterred and I will continue to advocate for democracy in Hong Kong.”
