David Leppard and Claire Newell
A top aide to Gordon Brown has been a suspected victim of a honeytrap operation by Chinese intelligence agents.
The aide, a senior Downing Street adviser who was with the prime minister on a trip to China earlier this year, had his BlackBerry phone stolen after being picked up by a Chinese woman who had approached him in a Shanghai hotel disco.
The aide agreed to return to his hotel with the woman. He reported the BlackBerry missing the next morning.
The aide, whose identity is known to The Sunday Times, immediately reported the theft to the prime ministers Special Branch protection team and was informally reprimanded.
A senior official said yesterday that the incident had all the hallmarks of a suspected honeytrap by Chinese intelligence. The incident will raise fresh questions about the security of sensitive official information. It follows a spate of high-profile cases where data from government departments have been lost.

I’ve wondered the same.
can we see her pic to determine guilt?
Uhm I never said anything about not loving my kids.
(sigh) Im sure ikts all my fault I shouldnt blame her in the least.
I should also have known some goob would hammer me over a little humor.
yeah - if your humor falls flat - resorting to name calling always makes it funnier.
LOL I thought it was very funny. You been here a year and already policing the place! Keep up the good work rounding up us trouble makers.
ha, if all else fails—look for an easy out...
Many, many, many men have every right to say they have gotten the shaft because they have. I paid half my income for five years to a woman that never spent a dime on raising my kids yet whored around and doing drugs night and day with them in the house . I eventually got custody and put 4 through college with the youngest going next year.
Enough of your sanctimonious BS. You have no idea who the people are your talking to or what their lives are like. You just flitter around passing judgement starting fights over something you most likely have never been through and know little or nothing about. Of course I've seen alot of people on FR like you too. /
little defensive huh?
I’m sure it was all your ex wife’s fault, nothing at all was your fault, you were a perfect husband.
Yep it was all my fault. Leave me aloneplease, I dont tolerate fools long.
I’ll respond as long as I’d like to. You put the personal comment out there, and then got hot under the collar about it and have been nothing but rude since, so if you don’t want your posts to be commented on, stop making it so easy.
comment on man, you win.
I know!
