Alert as China Hires Ex-British Pilots To Train Peoples' Liberation Army Personnel

Ex-UK Pilots Lured to Help Chinese Military, MoD Says

British Pilots are Renowned to Be The Best inThe World


BBC News 19 OCT 2022





Former British military pilots are being lured to China with large sums of money to pass on their expertise to the Chinese military, it is claimed.

Up to 30 former UK military pilots are thought to have gone to train members of China's People's Liberation Army.



The UK is issuing an intelligence alert to warn former military pilots against working for the Chinese military.

Attempts to headhunt pilots are ongoing and had been ramping up recently, western officials say.

A spokesperson from the Ministry of Defence said the training ​and the recruiting of pilots does not breach any current UK law but officials in the UK and other countries are trying to deter the activity.

"It is a lucrative package that is being offered to people," said one western official. "Money is a strong motivator." Some of the packages are thought to be as much as £237,911 ($270,000).



The retired British pilots are being used to help understand the way in which Western planes and pilots operate, information which could be vital in the event of any conflict, such as over Taiwan.

"They are a very attractive body of people to then pass on that knowledge," a Western official said. "It's taking Western pilots of great experience to help develop Chinese military air force tactics and capabilities."

The UK first became aware of a small number of cases of former military pilots being recruited in 2019 which were dealt with on a case-by-case basis. The Covid-19 pandemic slowed attempts down, when travel to China was almost impossible but the attempts have now increased, leading to this alert.

"We've seen it ramp up significantly," a western official said in a briefing to journalists. "It is an ongoing issue." Current serving personnel are being targeted but none are thought to have accepted.

The pilots have experience on fast jets and helicopters and come from across the military and not just the Royal Air Force. They have flown Typhoons, Jaguars, Harriers and Tornados.

F-35 pilots are not thought to be involved although China is thought to be interested in them. Some of the pilots are in their late 50s and left the military some time ago. Pilots of other allied nations have also been targeted.

Officials said they are being recruited through intermediary head-hunters and cited a particular flying academy based in South Africa as being involved.

There is no evidence that any pilots have broken the Official Secrets Act or that they have committed any crime. The aim of the alert is to try and deter activity and inform current staff and industry partners and also remind personnel of their obligations to protect sensitive information.

"We are taking decisive steps to stop Chinese recruitment schemes attempting to headhunt serving and former UK Armed Forces pilots to train People's Liberation Army personnel in the People's Republic of China," an MoD spokesperson said.

"All serving and former personnel are already subject to the Official Secrets Act, and we are reviewing the use of confidentiality contracts and non-disclosure agreements across Defence, while the new National Security Bill will create additional tools to tackle contemporary security challenges - including this one."

China Diplomats Leave UK After Pro-Semocracy Protestor Attack at Manchester Consulate

China has removed six officials from Britain - including one of its most senior UK diplomats - two months after violence at its Manchester consulate.


BBC News 16 DEC 2022.

China has removed six officials from Britain - including one of its most senior UK diplomats - two months after violence at its Manchester consulate.




The UK had requested the officials waive their right to diplomatic immunity to allow detectives to question them about October's incident.

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly expressed his disappointment that none of the six would now face justice.

The group included consul-general Zheng Xiyuan, who denied beating a protester.

Pro-democracy protester, Bob Chan, a Hongkonger, was injured after being dragged onto the consulate grounds and beaten by men on 16 October.

Mr Zheng, who was effectively in charge of China's Manchester outpost, denied attacking Mr Chan after he was identified in photographs, and accused of doing so by a senior Conservative MP.

But he later told reporters he had been trying to protect his colleagues, adding that Mr Chan was "abusing my country, my leader. I think it's my duty".

China's decision to remove the diplomats is seen by some as an attempt to de-escalate the dispute and avoid further tit-for-tat exchanges between it and the UK.

However, the spokesman for the Chinese embassy in London said on Wednesday the UK had failed to protect its staff, adding it had launched its own representations with Britain over the incident.

It said Mr Zheng had returned to China under a "normal rotation of Chinese consular officials" after completing a term of office.

UK officials made clear the embassy was fully aware that if the diplomats did not agree to take part in the police investigation, then there would be consequences.

This is likely to have included the men being declared persona non grata and expelled from the UK.

Instead, China has chosen to avoid that outcome by recalling the diplomats themselves.

Mr Cleverly said China's removal of Mr Zheng and five other officials demonstrates the seriousness of the UK's response to the incident.

"We will continue on the world stage and domestically to abide by the rule of law and we expect others to do likewise," he said.

He added in a written statement to the House of Commons: "I am disappointed that these individuals will not be interviewed or face justice.

"Nonetheless, it is right that those responsible for the disgraceful scenes in Manchester are no longer - or will shortly cease to be - consular staff accredited to the UK."

The UK government had informed China the six officials needed to waive their right to diplomatic immunity, a status reserved for foreign diplomats, by this week.

It followed a request by Greater Manchester Police, Mr Cleverly said.

Mr Chan said of the officials' departure: "It has been two months since I was attacked in Manchester by staff members of the Chinese Consulate.

"Today, I hear that some members from that consulate have been sent back to China. While it may have taken two months for this to happen, I believe this is one way of solving this complicated diplomatic problem.

"I relocated to this country with my family to live freely. What happened on 16 October 2022 was unacceptable and illegal, and the withdrawal of these Chinese diplomats gives me a sense of closure."

In theory, diplomatic immunity means officials and their families cannot be arrested or prosecuted for any crime or civil case.

China had initially claimed that there had been attempts to illegally enter the consulate grounds.

Police said at the time that up to 40 protesters had gathered outside the consulate - a smaller diplomatic office that is UK territory but cannot be entered without consent.

Greater Manchester Police said a group of men "came out of the building and a man was dragged into the consulate grounds and assaulted".

"Due to our fears for the safety of the man, officers intervened and removed the victim from the consulate grounds," a statement said.

Former Conservative Party leader, Sir Iain Duncan Smith, said the UK should have formally declared the diplomats persona non grata.

"The flagrant assault on a peaceful democracy campaigner in Manchester needs more than allowing those responsible to leave the UK uncharged and with their heads held high. Letting China take them back isn't justice," he said.

"We should have kicked them out weeks ago."
