flag UK foreign secretary says China is a security threat but won’t confirm seeing classified dossier.

flag Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper declined to confirm whether she saw a classified dossier labeling China a national security threat during her time as home secretary. flag The case against two men accused of spying for China was dropped in September due to insufficient evidence, including from the previous government, which maintained it had not officially designated China as a threat. flag Conservative politicians disputed this, claiming internal documents from 2021–2023 confirm China’s threat status and accused the current government of withholding them. flag Cooper affirmed China poses real security risks like cyberattacks and espionage, while also recognizing its role as a key trading partner and collaborator on global issues such as climate change. flag She emphasized ministers were not involved in the Crown Prosecution Service’s evidence decisions.
