China has accused the UK’s intelligence agency of recruiting a couple as spies.
According to China’s Ministry of State Security, the two state department employees were successfully recruited after MI6 operatives exploited the man’s “strong desire for money”.
China did not reveal how it uncovered the case involving Mr Wang and Ms Zhou, saying only that it came after a "thorough investigation".
The case is still under investigation and Chinese officials did not say if the couple would be charged.
The BBC has contacted the UK authorities for a response.
