China hit out at 'smears' today after an alleged spy linked to Prince Andrew was banned from the UK. Beijing's embassy lashed out at a 'twisted mentality' and demanded that Britain 'stop creating trouble' as the diplomatic spat escalated. The suspected agent, who also mixed with top politicians, was named yesterday as Yang Tengbo.

The 50-year-old, previously known as H6, is said to have become a 'close' confidant of the Duke of York and has also been pictured with senior Tories such as Lord David Cameron and Baroness Theresa May. In a statement, an spokesman for the London embassy said: 'We always believe that a sound and stable China-UK relationship is not a one-sided favour but what meets the common interests of both sides.

'The UK side must have a right perception of China, see the historical trend clearly, and handle its relations with China on the basis of mutual respect, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit. 'We urge the UK side to immediately stop creating trouble, stop anti-China political manipulations, and stop undermining normal personnel exchanges between China and the UK.'.
