Chinese Spy Yang Tengbo Unmasked Amid UK Scandal

A significant scandal has emerged in the U.K. involving Chinese businessman Yang Tengbo, who has been identified as an alleged spy with connections to high-profile figures, including Prince Andrew. Yang, who was banned from the U.K. in 2023 due to national security concerns, claims he has done nothing wrong and is challenging the allegations against him. His ties to the British establishment, including meetings with former Prime Ministers and participation in initiatives like Pitch@Palace, have raised questions about China's influence operations through its United Front Work Department (UFWD). This department is tasked with establishing relationships globally to promote Chinese interests, operating with considerable secrecy. As the British Parliament considers disclosing Yang's identity, the incident has reignited discussions about Chinese espionage activities in the West. Meanwhile, China's Ministry of State Security has intensified its focus on domestic surveillance, warning citizens to remain cautious of foreign spies.
