The Hill: UK spy chief lists China, Russia, Iran as top threats
The United Kingdom’s spy chief on Tuesday said China, Russia and Iran are three of the biggest threats to Britain.
Richard Moore, the chief of the U.K. Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6, said China, Russia, Iran and international terrorism represent the “big four” security issues British spies are currently facing, according to The Associated Press.
He said China, an “authoritarian state with different values than ours,” dispatches “large-scale espionage operations” against the U.K. and its allies while also making efforts to “distort public discourse and political decisionmaking,” according to the AP.
Moore also said China sells technology overseas that allows for a “web of authoritarian control” globally.
