"Foreign professors" steal secrets in the name of ecological scientific research! The Ministry of State Security revealed the facts of the case. In recent years, some foreign NGOs or foundations, under the banner of "project investigation and research" and "ecological governance and protection", have illegally collected and stolen geographical, meteorological, biological and other sensitive data from important nature reserves on the mainland, bringing risks and hidden dangers to the security of mainland countries.
The Ministry of State Security recently exposed an eco-espionage case. Under the leadership of locals, the self-proclaimed professors of country X have installed a number of so-called instruments and equipment for "inspecting the ecological environment" in a national wetland reserve and forest farm on the mainland, established a number of small observation and test sites, and illegally collected a large number of sensitive data such as geography, meteorology, and biology in China's important nature reserves. On the basis of leads, state security organs, in conjunction with relevant departments, are to promptly carry out work to stop illegal activities in a timely manner. Professor X of country X confessed to the fact that he used academic cooperation as a cover to collect and steal security data in non-traditional fields on the mainland. The state security organs, in conjunction with relevant departments, are to handle Professor X and other persons involved in the case in accordance with law.
Reminder from the state security organs: The basic data of geography, meteorology, biology and other basic data of important nature reserves in the mainland are unique and valuable data resources in the mainland, which are closely related to China's ecological security, biological security, data security, etc., and the illegal collection and cross-border transmission of the above-mentioned sensitive data without approval endangers the security and interests of the mainland.

British companies pressure the government: relax business restrictions on China! Britain's Sunak government is facing pressure from banks such as HSBC and Standard Chartered, as well as other large domestic companies, to ease proposed restrictions on doing business in China, as reported on the Bloomberg News website on May 10. They target parts of the UK's new National Security Act, which aims to increase transparency in dealings with countries that "pose a potential risk to UK security". Business executives are lobbying the minister not to include China in the strictest risk category, saying that being forced to file would hurt business and generate negative publicity, according to people familiar with the matter. The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that although the government has not yet made a final decision, businesses in the financial and other sectors have reacted strongly, the report said. In the UK, allowing companies to get closer to China has become part of a major political battle, the report said.
