The UK has been ordered to shift its focus from counter-terrorism to counter-espionage, targeting Russian and Chinese spies, according to the Telegraph. This decision comes amid concerns that Beijing has recruited 'hundreds of thousands' of spies in the UK. MI5 is now prioritizing this threat. Additionally, China's Ministry of State Security disclosed an espionage case involving MI6 operatives who allegedly turned a Chinese man, Wang, and his wife, Zhou, against Beijing. China has also claimed the arrest of spies turned by a US ally.
