Alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo denies claims and criticises 'political climate'

Yang Tengbo, a 25-year-old researcher at the University of Cambridge, has denied allegations of being a Chinese spy, criticizing the political climate in the UK for fostering an environment of suspicion and xenophobia. He was arrested under the Official Secrets Act in March, accused of spying for China, but has not been charged. Yang, who has lived in the UK since he was 13, expressed frustration over the impact of these accusations on his life, including his inability to continue his PhD research. He highlighted the broader implications of such accusations, suggesting they contribute to a culture of fear and mistrust towards individuals of Chinese descent in the UK. Yang also mentioned the lack of evidence against him and the potential damage to UK-China relations, as well as the personal toll, including his inability to visit his family in China due to his passport being retained by authorities.
