The businessman in question, identified by British media as Yang TBO, has strongly denied the espionage accusations leveled against him. He claims that he is a victim of the UK’s increasingly negative viewpoint towards China, stating, “I have done nothing wrong or unlawful, and the concerns raised by the Home Office against me are ill-founded.” Yang argues that the allegations against him stem from the changing political climate between the UK and China, where Chinese investors have found themselves less welcome as tensions rise.
