It is “highly likely” that Chinese spies are trying to infiltrate Congress, according to a leading security expert.Alan Mendoza, who heads the London based Henry Jackson Society think tank, said the U.K. spying claims should act as a wake-up call to the wider West.
"It is highly likely that the U.S. Congress is being similarly targeted and it is time the Free World placed possible Chinese infiltration on the same level as the Russian spy threat."Director Christopher Wray and MI5 Chief Ken McCallum warned about the threat from Beijing during a rare joint appearance. Wray said that China is the"biggest long-term threat to our economic and national security" and warned it is is actively seeking to interfere in elections.
"Now we learn a spy may have infiltrated the very heart of the PRC [People's Republic of China] sceptic movement in London," he told."In spite of all this, close to nothing has been done to protect legislators and national institutions from penetration. Politicians need mandatory security training, which covers the whole political environment, not just digital security."
