    Much of it is keeping an eye on Chinese students in UK Universities. It was the same with English teachers in China!

      I remember this becoming a widespread issue in Australian universities. Though I've also heard that the same Chinese agents are increasingly interfering the affairs of British citizens.

    Believe a wider set of professionals is being targeted or “hand picked” beyond the categories mentioned and unwittingly.
    We should be able to alert global intelligence about these events🙏
    It comes back to a global and local definition of ethical leadership, morally constructive leadership styles, and responsible citizenry.
