Fox News
The United Kingdom's government said in a new report Chinese recruitment schemes have tried "to headhunt British and allied nationals in key positions."
"In terms of espionage, China’s human intelligence collection is prolific, using a vast network of individuals embedded in local society to access individuals of interest – often identified through social media," according to the U.K. government report. "Decision-makers, from serving politicians to former political figures, senior government officials and the military – are, inevitably, key targets."
