Westminster SpyGate : Is China The New Evil Empire?

A few days ago, a British parliamentary aide was arrested on suspicion of spying for China. Cue outrage. The United Kingdom Members of parliament, who enjoy extreme perquisites in comparison to the average citizen, wasted no time in deploying parliamentary privilege in naming the suspect, a few days ago. In the British press, this revelation was confirmation of the worst about China: that it is a country hell bent on destroying western civilization. But should we be outraged by allegations of China spying on Britain? I pose this question because this is yet another distraction technique from the government and the fourth estate. Why? Spying is as old as humanity itself with history littered with several examples. Anyone who has read the classics, will fully appreciate the point being made here. Delilah, in the old testament of the bible, was the perfect spy, given her great success in getting Samson to divulge the secret of his stunning powers, which led to his capturing and his extraordinary fall from grace. But espionage, in the modern sense, is a British creation and no, I am not talking about James Bond. In the war of independence against the American revolutionaries, Britain found good use for the likes of Benedict Arnold. <a href="https://adebayoadeniran.medium.com/westminster-spygate-is-china-the-new-evil-empire-b33b486a8ea6">Click Here</a>
