A British court has identified an alleged Chinese spy who developed a close relationship with Prince Andrew, shedding light on Beijing's influence within Britain's institutions. The man, Yang Tengbo, had his anonymity removed by a judge, revealing his involvement with the younger brother of King Charles.
During a tribunal hearing, it was disclosed that Tengbo had gained an 'unusual degree of trust' with Prince Andrew, being authorized to represent him in business meetings with potential Chinese investors in the UK. Tengbo was even invited to Andrew's 60th birthday party in 2020.
