LONDON: An alleged Chinese spy who cultivated close ties with Prince Andrew said on Monday (Dec 16) he has done “nothing wrong or unlawful” as Britain's government faced questions about what it is doing to thwart security threats from China.

British authorities allege businessman Yang Tengbo - known only as “H6” until a High Court judge lifted an anonymity order on Monday - was working on behalf of the United Front Work Department, an arm of the Chinese Communist Party that is used to influence foreign entities.
