Lawyer Targeted by Chinese Spies Posing as Tech Researchers
Update: 2025-12-27
Description
Bryn Harris, a prominent lawyer for the Free Speech Union, suspects he was targeted by Chinese spies disguised as tech researchers. He received suspicious emails from individuals with Chinese names claiming to work on advanced AI projects at companies like IBM and Google. Harris, who advocates for free speech on UK university campuses, believes this could be a China capture attempt to influence or silence critics. A UK-China transparency group confirmed the womens locations were likely in Asia, not the US. MI5 has warned about Chinese spies using fake job ads on platforms like LinkedIn, offering high salaries for sensitive information. Harris urges caution against too-good-to-be-true job offers.
