Peter Wai Chi-leung

Peter Wai Chi-leung, associated with the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) in London, has been convicted in a British court of assisting a foreign intelligence service. He was found guilty alongside Bill Yuen Chung-biu, the office's manager, two years after their arrests. The case has drawn significant attention to the activities of Hong Kong's overseas promotion offices and their alleged involvement in spying on activists and politicians. The convictions highlight concerns about Chinese intelligence operations abroad and the role of Hong Kong's trade offices in these activities. This development places Wai Chi-leung at the center of a high-profile international espionage case, underscoring the geopolitical tensions surrounding Hong Kong.
