A London jury finds two dual Chinese-British nationals guilty of spying for China by targeting Hong Kong pro-democracy figures living in the UK. The defendants are Bill Yuen, 65, a former Hong Kong police superintendent, and Peter Wai, 40 (also reported as 38 in one account). Both are convicted of offences connected to assisting a foreign intelligence service, following allegations that they carried out “shadow policing” on British soil. According to the reports, the activities involved monitoring or assisting operations against Hong Kong dissidents based in the UK. The cases centre on claims that the pair worked on behalf of Chinese interests to identify, track, or otherwise support actions against individuals associated with the pro-democracy movement. The conviction is described as resulting from the jury’s assessment of evidence presented during the trial in London. Both outlets frame the conduct as “shadow policing” directed at Hong Kong protesters and dissidents residing in Britain, rather than activities conducted outside the UK.
