China's Ministry of State Security has accused the UK's Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) of recruiting a married couple who worked for a central state agency in China to spy for the British government. The Chinese government alleges that MI6 turned the couple, identified only by their surnames Wang and Zhou, into spies. This accusation is part of ongoing espionage allegations between Beijing and Western powers. The Ministry of State Security disclosed that the couple was approached by MI6 after Wang applied to study in the UK in 2015. The Chinese authorities claim to have taken decisive measures against the couple. This development comes amid heightened tensions and mutual espionage accusations between China and the UK.
