Liz Truss and other senior Tory MPs have lined up in the Commons to pressure Rishi Sunak to designate China as a “threat” to the UK following the arrest of a parliamentary researcher on suspicion of spying for Beijing.
The so-called China hawks on the Tory benches did not hold back after Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden gave a statement on the arrest and insisted China represented a “systemic challenge” to the UK.
