THE China spy linked to Prince Andrew also rubbed shoulders with British political leaders including David Cameron, Theresa May and George Osborne. Pictures of the espionage suspect at the heart of Britain’s political establishment raised fresh questions about his activities.
The Chinese networker - who cannot be named for legal reasons - is seen with the top Tories at glitzy events in a string of snaps obtained exclusively by the Sun on Sunday. In one he poses in black tie with a smiling Theresa May and her husband Sir Philip at a Christmas event.
Another shows him with David Cameron and his wife Samantha, while a third image shows him in a large group with George Osborne. It is believed to be taken in 2014 when Mr Osborne was Tory Chancellor in charge of Britain's purse strings. It came as yesterday the Telegraph reported Chinese money given to the Duke of York is being investigated by MI5 - and that the King was made aware of this prior to the story breaking on Thursday of Andrew’s links to the spy.
Chung Ching Kwong, analyst for the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, said the revelations must be a wake up call for the UK to finally get tough on Beijing. She said: “How bad does it have to get for the Government to take action?. “We’ve been warning about Beijing’s infiltration for years, yet we are still having a ludicrous debate over whether or not China will be in the top tier of the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme.
