Britain's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak attends a visit to an engineering firm in Barrow-in-Furness, England, Monday, March 25, 2024. – Britain's government is expected to blame a string of malicious cyberactivity targeting the U.K.'s election watchdog and lawmakers on hackers linked to the Chinese government,
At the time, the watchdog said the data included the names and addresses of registered voters. But it said that much of the information was already in the public domain, and that possessing such information was unlikely to influence election results. The politicians are members of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, an international pressure group focused on countering Beijing's growing influence and calling out alleged rights abuses by the Chinese government.Ahead of that announcement, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak reiterated that China is “behaving in an increasingly assertive way abroad” and is “the greatest state-based threat to our economic security.
China critics including Duncan Smith have long called for Sunak to take a tougher stance on China and label the country a threat — rather than a “challenge” — to the U.K., but the government has refrained from using such critical language.
