Devices surrendered
The documents outline how H6 was stopped at a British port in November 2021 and ordered to surrender digital devices including his mobile phone. Then, in 2023, he was taken off a flight from Beijing to London and told that he faced exclusion from the U.K.
His device, according to the ruling, contained direct contacts with the UFWD and a document which included “questions posed by the Chinese Embassy regarding strategy.”
“We have reason to believe you are engaging, or have previously engaged, in covert and deceptive activity on behalf of the United Front Work Department (UFWD) which is an arm of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) state apparatus,” he was told in a letter from the British government.
“The UFWD is reported to have a remit to engage in political interference, including targeting the U.K.’s democratic processes. As such, we therefore assess that you are likely to pose a threat to U.K. national security.”
H6 told officials while being interviewed about his exclusion from the U.K. that he had no connections to anyone in politics in China. He defended his business interests in the U.K. and their economic benefit to the country.
But his account was disputed by British authorities, who concluded that he “was frequently connected to officials associated with the Chinese State.”
The case will raise fresh questions about the judgment of Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his military titles and royal patronages by the late Queen Elizabeth II amid scrutiny of his links with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
