Newspaper headlines: MPs say China is a ‘threat’ and the ‘Kate effect’

Leading the battle cry for tougher action is former Conservative Party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith – one of the MPs who was targeted by hackers. The Daily Express says he is calling for the UK to designate China as a “threat” as the United States has done. Sir Iain is a member of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, which scrutinises, and often criticises, the activities of Beijing.
