Responding to a UK report concerning alleged increases in Chinese spying activities, and following Foreign Minister David Lammy's announcement of an $800 million investment into related investigations, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun addressed the matter on Wednesday. Guo reiterated China's dedication to peaceful development.
Guo emphasized that China does not pose a threat to any nation and does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. He highlighted the shared status of China and the UK as permanent members of the UN Security Council and major global economies.
The spokesperson stated that fostering bilateral relations and strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation aligns with the interests of both countries and the global community. China is prepared to develop its relationship with the UK based on mutual respect and the appropriate management of any disagreements. However, Guo firmly rejected any unfounded accusations or smears.

The UK should listen to its allies. Many countries are wary of China's intentions.
