After having been all over international media for days, ‘H6’ can now be named by the UK press as Yang Tengbo, otherwise known as Chris Yang, a director of the Hampton Group International consultancy. The offending institution…
Yang worked as a civil servant in China until he came to the UK on a student visa in 2002, after which he got a masters degreee and in 2005 founded what would become Hampton Group. He was given indefinite leave to remain in 2013. Yang is also an honorary member of the Beijing-linked 48 Group Club, which calls itself the “first western trade delegation to the newly formed People’s Republic of China.” Westminster’s links to Yang will now unravel…
UPDATE: A statement has been issued on behalf of Yang which claims he voluntarily waived his right to anonymity: “I have done nothing wrong or unlawful and the concerns raised by the Home Office against me are ill-founded. The widespread description of me as a ‘spy’ is entirely untrue.”
Read the full statement below:
There is a court hearing at 2 p.m today to challenge the anonymity of the alleged Chinese spy only known as H6. The individual is being widely named in foreign media…
Guido can reveal photographic evidence of a second royal having met H6 – this time at the second “UK China Business Leader Summit” in June 2016. Held at Windsor Castle, Prince Michael of Kent is sitting just in front of the alleged spy, while at an official engagement. There is no suggestion Prince Michael knew the identity of the man he was pictured with…
Meanwhile, Westminster is privately in meltdown over the implications of the scandal for politicians – rather than royals. While it is currently running as a royal story – to be fair to Their Royal Highnesses – the links with politicos which are now unravelling are much more disturbing…
H6 is known to have mixed with politicians for some time including Osborne, May, and Cameron – as was reported over the weekend. At this morning’s Lobby briefing Downing Street refused to comment on whether Starmer or any of the Cabinet has ever met with them. There are no plans to cancel Reeves’ trip to China in January as Starmer talks up the UK’s “co-operation” with the CCP…
Many politicians – from both Labour and the Tories – are said to be implicated in naïve interactions with individuals who have very close links to CCP fronts, including H6. Sources with knowledge of the long-term situation say there are “countless photos of them with these characters.” Just as Labour pivots towards China this infiltration debacle is threatening to unravel and totally humiliate Starmer for his pro-Beijing geopolitical posture…

Starmer has been asked about Chinese spy H6 at a press conference in Norway:
“Of course we are concerned about the challenge that China poses. Our approach as you know I had a meeting with the president just a few weeks ago, our approach is one of engagement, of cooperating where we need to cooperate, particularly for example on issues like climate change, to challenge where we must and where we should, particularly on issues like human rights, and to compete when it comes to trade. So that’s the strategic approach that we’ve set out as a UK government I’m not going to comment on on Buckingham Palace or the Royal side.”
Word salad with no condemnation of the Chinese spy and an immediate pivot to cooperation on climate change. Labour’s China tilt is looking more like a bad idea by the minute…
Speaking to Sky News off the back of Rachel Reeves’ Air Passenger Duty hike, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said:
“Labour is dependent on those Red Wall seats, and yet every move she makes poisons economic growth and damages the UK’s recovery… it’s the Chancellor who stumbles from policy misstep to policy misstep… I think her policy decisions are incredibly stupid.”
