UK's MI5 Issues First Independent Alert, Saying China's General Technology Research Institute Funds British Scholars in Espionage Technology Research
On September 30, the UK's MI5 rarely issued an independent espionage alert, pointing out that China's General Technology Research Institute has close ties with the Ministry of State Security and has funded more than 100 British scholars to research AI, cybersecurity, covert communications and steganography, warning that those who continue to cooperate could be prosecuted under the National Security Law. The Chinese Embassy in the UK denied the allegations.
