The Investigatory Powers Tribunal ruled that MI5 acted lawfully by naming Christine Lee as a national security threat, highlighting concerns over Chinese state infiltration in British politics.
The IPT emphasized that MI5's alert regarding Christine Lee was crucial in a democratic society, asserting it as a proportionate measure against the alleged threat she posed.
Christine Lee has claimed her Parliamentary involvement aimed to represent the UK Chinese community and enhance diversity, contradicting MI5's allegations of her political interference.
The ruling comes amidst heightened scrutiny of suspected Chinese influence in the UK, following other allegations regarding political donations linked to foreign entities.
