China has recruited dozens of former British military pilots to teach the Chinese armed forces how to defeat western warplanes and helicopters in a "threat to UK interests", officials have revealed.
One official said some 30 mainly ex-fast jet but also some helicopter pilots - lured by annual salaries of around £240,000 - are currently in China training pilots for the People's Liberation Army, in what a defence analyst described as a stunning breach of security.
A retired senior Royal Air Force officer said: "Wow… that is appalling. What were they thinking?"
Beijing is actively trying to hire many more serving and former military pilots and other specialists from across the RAF, the Royal Navy and the British Army as well as personnel from other western nations, the western official said.
The situation is so grave, the Ministry of Defence's Defence Intelligence service on Tuesday issued a "threat alert" to warn serving and former military personnel against such approaches.
China is using third-party head-hunters, including a company based in South Africa, to target personnel, the western official said.
The official named the company as the Test Flying Academy of South Africa, though stressed it had no connection with the South African government.
Sky News has contacted the firm to request a response to the allegation.
UK appears powerless to stop recruitment schemes
The western official said the recruitment schemes posed "a threat to UK and western interests" and were viewed with "concern and disapproval" by the government.
All British former service personnel, who have accepted jobs to train Chinese military pilots, "are almost certainly enhancing China's military knowledge and capability," the official said.
Despite the potential for harm to national security, the UK appears to have been powerless to stop the recruitment schemes

The Tories and Labor don’t care about the British citizens, so why should British citizens care about protecting a country that is controlled by the Tories and Labor who hate them for being true Brits?
The British and French caused a lot of the humiliations that gave rise to the current Chinese hairy chestedness. Opium wars.
The west has betrayed its warriors and has destroyed the liberties and freedoms they pledged to defend.
They might as well get some of that Chinese cash like the Clintons and Bidens.

In another decade, how many private schools and universities in America will be owned and controlled by the ChiComs?
That has been happening in the UK for at least 3 decades.
Author Bell Hooks describes dependency “as the breeding ground for abuses of power.” Britain is clearly dependent on investment from China, now more than ever before.
Britain’s infrastructure and universities are essentially controlled by China:
Meanwhile here in America, they dumb down our schools and universities via their loyal US Elites, who control many if not most of our schools and universities.
The top ten UK universities that rely most on Chinese students:
1) University of Glasglow
31% of total tuition income paid by Chinese students
£70million estimated income from Chinese students
10% of students from China
2) University of Liverpool
29% of total tuition income paid by Chinese students
£89million estimated income from Chinese students
19% of students from China
3) University of Sheffield

Those 30 should be killed for being traitors.
Bkmrk.
Of course, this assumes they are NOT part of a intelligence operation to “mis-train” the Chinese pilots.

Did the Brits fire any officers for not taking the vax?
They are UKs and 30 problems of the UK.

Well, if that is the standard, then at least start with the politicians that betrayed their country to the CCP first...
Lol... Did you miss anyone for your list? How about some proto- Cambodians?
And if the Han Chinese are so smart, how come Xi has the half of China coming in and out of lockdowns? I used to think the Chinese economy was based on industrial might. Until I learned it was really built on gambling on real estate and building ghost cities.

Xi’s edict has nothing to do with ‘smart’ - it has everything to do with CCP Party population control and economic simulation during a war.
