Part 3/7:
In response to the accusations, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in London delivered a pointed statement defending Yang Tango and criticizing the UK's political leaders. The embassy characterized the British MPs’ reactions as a manifestation of a “twisted mentality” towards China, accusing them of arrogance and shamelessness. This rhetorical escalation reveals the deep chasm currently existing between the UK and China.
The spokesperson's statement included a clarification from Yang himself, asserting his innocence amid the shifting political climate. It highlighted the notion that these allegations stem from an overly paranoid perspective held by a “handful of UK MPs” who might be trying to deflect their issues by engaging in smear campaigns against China.
