In October 2025 in a London courtroom, two men accused of spying for China stood ready for trial.
The case has been building for two and a half years by this point. Security services have invested countless hours and tax payer money. Then, in a matter of minutes, the whole thing evaporates. The prosecutor stan ds up and offers no evidence. Case dismissed.
How does the UK's first major Chinese espionage trial simply collapse? The answer, the full details of which the likes of you and I will probably never know, reveals a government too nervous to call China what MI5 has been screaming it is for years – a threat.
Now the two spies in question, Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry have not been convicted of anything and remain innocent until proven guilty. But the reason they so far have not had their day in court has nothing to do with their guilt or innocence. It has everything to do with politics.
