LONDON, May 14, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - The UK government on Tuesday said it had summoned China's ambassador Zheng Zeguang, a day after a British court charged three people in the latest Beijing-linked alleged espionage case.

The foreign ministry was "unequivocal in setting out that the recent pattern of behaviour directed by China against the UK, including cyber-attacks, reports of espionage links and the issuing of bounties is not acceptable", a spokesperson said.
