The prime minister met the Chinese premier, Li Qiang, on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Delhi in an unplanned meeting hours after the Sunday Times revealed that two men were arrested amid allegations that a parliamentary researcher spied for Beijing.
This isn’t surprising. China is a powerful foreign enemy. We shouldn’t be surprised that they’re spying on us. They have been for decades. Just the same as we (I hope) are spying on them.
Everyone spies on everyone.
That’s why they don’t make such a huge deal when others get caught, in case they themselves do.
But they have to at least pretend they are offended and they have to be punished to some degree.
Well, the difference is that, when we do it, we do it with Dignity and Respect™!
