Starmer's diplomacy downplays "epic scale" of Chinese spying

The article from MSN discusses how British opposition leader Keir Starmer has adopted a diplomatic approach towards China, despite the country's extensive espionage activities. It highlights the scale of Chinese spying, which includes cyberattacks, intellectual property theft, and the use of technology for surveillance. Starmer's strategy involves engaging with China on issues like climate change and trade, while downplaying the security threats posed by Chinese espionage. Critics argue that this approach might overlook the significant risks to national security, economic stability, and technological innovation in the UK. The piece also touches on the broader geopolitical implications, noting that while the U.S. has taken a more confrontational stance, Starmer's Labour Party seems to favor dialogue and cooperation, potentially underestimating the depth of China's intelligence operations.
