One of the three men accused of aiding the Hong Kong intelligence services in the UK was a classmate of the territory’s top official, John Lee. Lee has hit out at “unwarranted allegations” against the Hong Kong government, according to reports.
Chung Biu Yuen, a bureaucrat who works in the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) in London, is said to appear alongside Lee in a graduation photograph from 2002 that was published by the South China Morning Post.
