Chris Ray told him he was the Chinese threat “Complex, long-term and ever-present danger”. For the United States and Great Britain, as well as other allies.

They called on business circles to be vigilant and report possible threats. “The Chinese Communist Party is interested in our democratic, media and legal systems. Not to imitate them, unfortunately, but to use them for his own benefit.said Mr McCallum.
