Congress has been warned to be on high alert for Chinese spies after a suspected Beijing espionage plot was uncovered in British parliament.
Earlier this week, a parliamentary researcher with links to MPs with classified information was arrested for 'spying for China.'
The suspect is thought to be linked to numerous Conservative members of Parliament - including Security Minister Tom Tugendhat and Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Alicia Kearns.
According to reports, several of the members with links to the suspected spy are 'privy to classified or highly sensitive information', however none have been accused of wrongdoing.
The suspect, who was arrested under the Official Secrets Act, has not been charged, and has said he is 'completely innocent.' He has not been named by police.
The suspected breach sparked a Metropolitan Police investigation and led to MI5 warning more operatives could be working in the highest levels of British democracy. Now the United States has been warned it could be a target.
Rep. Mike Gallagher, who chairs the House Select Committee on the Communist Party, told DailyMail.com that educating members of Congress about the threat of infiltration is critical - especially in light of the recent UK incident.
'One thing we're trying to do here on the Select Committee is to educate people -members and staff- about the nature of not only traditional CCP espionage but United Front work,' he said.
'I think United Front work is a poorly understood phenomenon. I don't think your average member understands what it is. The more we can educate members about this phenomenon, the better they can defend themselves.'
The United Front is the political strategy utilized by the CCP to advance China's influence and power globally through a variety of methods, including by deploying spies to try to change policies of foreign nations...

Is it espionage if the White House and most of Congress are freely providing that information?
We already had the whole DiFi thing with her driver/staffer...?
Suspects to keep an eye on would all of these legislators and WH advisors who promote ruining America to support Ukraine and maybe some of the same on FR. It’s always Russia, Russia, Russia when all the evidence is that our most serious enemy is China. But not a word from them about China - only Russia, Russia, Russia. But it is China who has infiltrated our government, military, universities, defense industry, and is buying up our land like crazy.
Two separate incidents of Navy personnel, born in China, were arrested for spying a month or two ago.
Why any Chang born in China has access to classified information is beyond me.
Our military, our government, and our corporations get crappier every year with the replacement of white males with undeserving women and minorities.
Anyone checked with Mitch and his B...er...wife?
Chinese spies in Congress? Is Congress still using the computer systems the Awan brothers installed?
You know, the Pakistani Intelligence Service spies that Debbie Washerwoman Schlutz hired. China could just buy their info from the Pakis.
They merely have to ask Joe Biden for whatever they want, and bring cash. If they need moe intel, just ask Milley, he will collaborate as he always has.
This country’s leadership is an embarrassment.
Ha ha, congress watch for spy threat? They are in on it.
I have noticed this trend also.

The only warning those things sent to Capitol Hill was that everyone else was missing out on what Smalwell and Feinstein were getting.
Fang Fang’s back in town for more bang bang?
Sure the POTATUS is on the Chicom take. And so are half the senators and a big ol' chunk of congressmen. And then there are the embedded bureaucrats living in million dollar homes on a government salary.
Chinese spies are a major commodity in America. Every Chinese student or immigrant is a probable spy if he has relatives in China. University students, scientists, and DoD employees, civilian or military, are required to send back to China every scrap of information they encounter else their relatives will suffer. Family is much more important to Chinese than to Americans and such threat is akin to credible threats to oneself, wife or children. More so because there is no authority one can go to for protection.
Imagine 10-20 years from now. Things are going to get real ugly.
I’m sure that there’s a “Fang Fang” available for every Rat Party hack in Congress.
