LONDON — The head of Britain’s cyber-intelligence agency is accusing Communist China of using its economic and technological clout to clamp down at home and exert control abroad, saying Beijing’s aggressive stance is driven by fear and poses “a huge threat to us all.”
The director of Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters, an intelligence agency, Jeremy Fleming, says Beijing’s Communist authorities are seeking to “shape the global tech ecosystem,” using technologies such as digital currencies and satellite systems to control China’s population and increase its influence around the world.
