My embassy in the UK refutes it!, The head of the British intelligence agency falsely claimed that China was a "conspiracy of Russia to invade Ukraine" in cooperation | China | Ukraine
Embassy spokesperson: The above-mentioned remarks by British officials are purely out of nothing, irresponsible, and malicious smears. China firmly opposes and strongly condemns them.
China is not the creator or party to the Ukrainian crisis. China has always upheld an objective and just position, actively promoted peace talks, and actively promoted the political resolution of the Ukraine issue. The British side should reflect on whether they want peace or war, whether they want a ceasefire to stop the war or continue to pour oil on the fire.
China's R&D expenditure ranks second in the world, with the largest total number of R&D personnel. Independent R&D is in a leading position in the world, and there is no need to rely on theft to gain an advantage. The essence of Sino British scientific research cooperation is voluntary and mutually beneficial. Setting obstacles artificially will only harm others and oneself.
As for the so-called "data trap", it is completely non-existent. China's exchanges and cooperation with countries around the world are open and straightforward. The international community is well aware of who is conducting surveillance and espionage activities. The British side's self-worth is despicable.
We advise British officials to abandon their outdated Cold War mentality as soon as possible, properly treat their delusions, and stop slandering China. We want to warn British officials: your deceitful rhetoric and framing of others have long failed, your credibility has long been bankrupt, there is no need to perform anymore!
