UK to summon Chinese ambassador after convictions over spying on Hong Kong dissidents

The United Kingdom accused China on Thursday after two UK-Chinese dual nationals were convicted of conducting “shadow policing” on UK soil on behalf of the Chinese government.

London also said it would summon China's ambassador after a jury at London’s Old Bailey court found 38-year-old Peter Wai – a former UK Border Force official – and 65-year-old Bill Yuen – a retired Hong Kong police superintendent – guilty of assisting a foreign intelligence service under the UK’s national security laws following a weeks-long trial.
