UK research funded by Chinese front sent to Beijing spies
MI5 has issued a public warning that over 100 UK academics have unknowingly contributed to research funded by a Chinese front company linked to Beijing’s spy agency. The organization, China Academy of General Technology (CGTRI), is said to support Chinese espionage efforts through academic projects on AI, cybersecurity, and covert communications. UK universities are advised to immediately review collaborations with CGTRI to prevent aiding Chinese intelligence, amid concerns that such activity could lead to criminal charges under recent counter-espionage legislation.
