🇨🇳🇬🇧 Intelligence workers have found “rather disturbing things” in British government vehicles At least one SIM card capable of transmitting location data was discovered in a sweep of government and diplomatic vehicles 🔴 Exclusive Richard_AHolmes

Multiple further sources warned that the occurrence of embedded SIMs in government cars was an example of China’s penetration of the supply chains of major car manufacturers.. “The aim is to put trackers in as many cars as possible and then pinpoint in on sights of interest.”

Most commercial trackers are essentially SIM cards attached to batteries and every geolocation tracker that sends data via a cellular network requires one. A built-in navigation system in a car with the ability to give live traffic updates will need a SIM card to connect to a signal. People employed to work alongside ministers are set to be vetted for their connections to “hostile state actors” such as China.

“The Chinese government always encourages Chinese companies to carry out foreign trade and investment cooperation in line with local laws as well as market principles and international rules. We are firmly against some people’s moves to deliberately overstretch the concept of national security to wear down Chinese enterprises.

A Downing Street spokesperson said: “As a matter of longstanding policy we would never comment on security matters.”Tory MP Iain Duncan Smith has called for China to be referred to as a ‘systemic threat'”‘ The source said there is an “added danger” because some Government vehicles are rented and there are “serious supply chain vulnerabilities” with mainstream car manufacturers.
