If a Chinese individual were caught spying for the UK in Beijing, he would likely find himself suspended by his toes in a cell, awaiting execution.
That's how the Chinese handle such matters. No one in Beijing would be concerned about whether the UK poses a threat.

The Chinese spygate case is the most serious scandal Starmer has faced in office
Whether by bullet or lethal injection, the outcome is certain.
Or perhaps they would meet their end at the paws of an angry panda.
But more often than not, it's a bullet to the head.
Most countries take such matters very seriously.
Indeed, ensuring the safety of citizens from foreign threats is the primary responsibility of any government.
However, it is evident that this duty is not taken seriously in the UK.
Last week, two British individuals were supposed to stand trial for espionage on behalf of China.
They included a parliamentary researcher and another researcher working in a sensitive area.
Both maintain their innocence.
Yet, at the last moment, the trial was abruptly canceled.
No explanation was provided—one moment the trial was set to proceed, and the next, it was dismissed.
Industrial Secrets
It has now come to light that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) sought advice from British government officials.
It is entirely plausible that the UK’s National Security Adviser, Jonathan Powell , a close associate of Keir Starmer, was among those consulted.
Shortly after their meeting with the CPS, the decision was made to drop the case.
Why? They reportedly advised the CPS that China could not be classified as a “threat” to the UK.
Instead, it was merely described as a “geo-political challenge.”
Consequently, the charges against the individuals could not be upheld.
In a previous espionage case, it was determined that charges were only relevant if they involved “a country that represents, at the time of the offense, a threat to the national security of the UK.”
Have you ever heard something more absurd?
If China isn't a threat to the UK, then who is?
The head of MI5 has reported that the Chinese have attempted to recruit 20,000 Brits to act as spies against our interests.
Did no one think to ask Sir Ken if he believed China was a threat? I suspect I know what his answer would be.
He also stated that 10,000 UK businesses are at risk from Chinese attempts to steal industrial secrets.
Furthermore, he mentioned that MI5 has 2,000 ongoing investigations related to Chinese espionage, and a new case is opened every 12 hours.
Did no one think to inquire if Sir Ken considered this a threat?
I suspect I know what his answer would be.
Of course, the country poses a threat.
It is menacing other nations in Southeast Asia.
It possesses a significant number of nuclear weapons aimed directly at the West.
It arrests dissidents who seek Western-style freedoms.
And it actively works to undermine UK politics and industry.
Truthfully, anyone secretly working for a foreign nation in the UK is a threat to our country.
Especially if they are involved in sensitive areas.
This seems so evident that it should not need stating.
If their covert income involves a large sum of Yuan, some fortune cookies, and cans of bubble tea, we should investigate thoroughly.
The reality in this case, however, is particularly troubling.
It appears almost certain that Whitehall officials intervened at the request of those in power.
And they did so to avoid upsetting China—because, aside from being a threat to the UK, we are also seeking their investment.
Other nations manage to adopt a dual approach.
Make no mistake, we may need to engage with countries like China, just as we once did with Russia—but they ARE the enemy.
They understand that while trade with oppressive regimes is necessary, they must remain vigilant and respond to any signs of deceitful behavior.
The Chinese are aware of this as well.
Yes, being caught with a group of spies in our midst may be temporarily embarrassing.
But it won't hinder China's pursuit of profit.
It seems our government was too fearful to take action.
Too concerned that the Chinese might retaliate and withdraw their investment.
Or choose not to invest in the future. We must not offend the
