How China spies on Britain

James speaks to Tom Tugendhat about China's espionage operations, and the threat it represents against the UK.

Can China watch everything that happens in Whitehall? Why do the recent spy scandals tell us about Beijing’s penetration of British government infrastructure? Could our electric cars be used against us? How much or a problem is Huawei?

China represents a paradigm shift in the secret war of espionage. Many seasoned professionals are ringing alarm bells about China’s abilities to access Britain’s most sensitive secrets. The question arises, does this represent a threat to the British government’s capabilities?

What exactly are they watching, why are they watching us and could our electric vehicles be used against us? James discusses all this and more with former Minister of State of Security, Tom Tugendhat.
