The Prime Minister's scheduled trip in January follows the collapse of a trial involving two suspects and an attempt by agents to infiltrate.
There is also an ongoing dispute regarding the planned new mega-embassy in the UK.
Mr. Farage stated: “It’s all very sinister.”
“We need a firmer stance against China... we should genuinely consider China a threat, a threat to our economy.”
Mr. Farage acknowledged the challenges posed by the UK's reliance on Chinese trade but, unlike some critics, believes the Prime Minister should confront the issue directly.
He remarked: “I’d say, ‘Listen, we had a treaty regarding Hong Kong.
“‘You’ve violated that... why should we trust you?’”
