China sends 'spy disguised as tourist to infiltrate UK briefing' by Hong Kong dissidents

A spy disguised as a tourist was reportedly sent by China to watch two Hong Kong pro-democracy activists brief the Commons.

The unnamed man was refused entry to the invitation-only talk at a private committee room in Westminster on Wednesday, July 5, and was shown the door when officials found he wasn't on the approved list.

The event was being chaired by Tory MP Bob Seely, with speakers being Finn Lau and Christopher Mung - dissidents who fled to the UK and for whom Beijing-controlled police have placed £100,000 bounties on their heads over alleged security law breaches.
