Christine Lee, a British-Chinese lawyer, who set up the British Chinese Project aimed at promoting engagement, understanding and cooperation between the Chinese community and wider UK society, has been accused of being a spy for Beijing by Britain’s spy agent MI5. But just a couple of years ago in 2019, she was given a “Point of Light” award by then prime minister Theresa May in recognition of her work in promoting Sino-British relations and her charity work for the local community. What has led to the dramatic change? As anti-Chinese sentiment is on the rise in Western countries, how may it back fire at the entire society?


Join host Tu Yun, former Director of Economic and Business Policy for the Mayor of London John Ross, writer and columnist Einar Tangen, and Professor Wan Xiaohong, Associate Dean of the School of Politics and Public Administration, South China Normal University, for insights into the dilemma of the Chinese diaspora in Western societies today.
