China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) has disclosed the detention of the head of an overseas consulting firm, identified as Huang Moumou, on charges of espionage for the United Kingdom's Secret Intelligence Service, MI6. The MSS revealed that MI6 used foreign personnel from a third country to engage Huang in espionage activities against China. The agency has taken criminal coercive measures against Huang, who is accused of collecting and providing 17 pieces of intelligence to the British government. This case has cast a spotlight on the consulting industry, which has been previously scrutinized by Beijing's anti-spying efforts, and has led to the individual being labeled as a foreign spy. The incident is poised to impact the diplomatic relationship between China and the UK.
