Britain’s intelligence agency MI5 has issued an espionage alert, warning lawmakers that China is attempting to recruit UK parliamentarians through spies posing as headhunters. The alert follows the collapse of a September trial involving two British men accused of spying on lawmakers for China, after prosecutors said the government had not provided sufficient evidence to prove China posed a national security threat, even as London continues to maintain warm diplomatic and economic ties with Beijing, one of its key trading partners.
