Britain’s domestic intelligence agency has escalated its warnings about Chinese espionage activities within the UK Parliament, citing the use of LinkedIn as a key recruitment tool for spies targeting lawmakers and parliamentary staff. The agency has identified a strategic method by which China is employing headhunters to gather sensitive information, potentially threatening the security of the legislative process. Dan Jarvis, the British security minister, has underscored the gravity of the situation, describing the activity as a ‘covert and calculated attempt’ to access classified information and influence political decisions.
