An Asian hate crime forum for London’s Metropolitan Police has been tied in a report from a British newspaper to the alleged Chinese spy operating in Westminster.
This week, the UK’s domestic security service, MI5, claimed that the founder of the British Chinese Project, Christine Lee had been attempting to gain influence within the House of Commons on behalf of the communist government in Beijing. Lee was also revealed to have contributed around £700,000 in political donations, the vast majority of which was funnelled to left-wing politicians in the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties.
On Sunday, a report from The Telegraph claimed that one of Lee’s former associates in the British Chinese Project, Pek-san Tan, currently has a chair on the board of the Metropolitan Police force’s Anti-Hate Crime ESEA (East and Southeast Asian) Forum.
The Met established the group in the wake of the Chinese coronavirus in order to safeguard members of the Chinese diaspora in Britain from hate crimes.
Two sources from within the forum told the paper that Ms Tam had taken advantage of her position in order to conflate criticism of the Chinese Communist Party on issues such as the reported genocide in Xinjiang with “actual” racism against Chinese people.
The CCP has frequently attempted to weaponise the so-called #StopAsianHate movement that sprung up in the wake of the Wuhan virus, even going so far as to accuse Uyghur activists in America as anti-Asian for speaking out against the authoritarian regime’s genocidal treatment of their compatriots.
