Rishi Sunak: China poses a threat to the UK way of life

Rishi Sunak: China poses a threat to the UK way of life

Rishi Sunak has said that he is "aware of the particular threat to the open and democratic way of life" posed by China's communist regime.

The Prime Minister was responding to a report released in July by Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee.

He said ministers would take "all necessary steps" to protect the UK from foreign state activity.

Sunak has been under pressure in recent days from some of his own MPs to officially label China a "threat".

The prime minister has resisted taking that step, instead describing China as an "era-defining and systemic challenge" while acknowledging the need to engage with the superpower.

On Wednesday, Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer cited the ISC report as he accused the prime minister of failing to heed warnings about China, leaving the UK "desperately playing catch-up" on security. 

Earlier this week, news emerged that police had arrested a researcher working in Parliament under the Official Secrets Act amid allegations he was spying for China.

The researcher - who the BBC has not named - denied the claims in a statement released through lawyers. He was one of two men arrested under the Official Secrets Act./ CNA
