MI5 issued an espionage alert on CGTRI. Its primary purpose is funding research to improve Chinese MSS espionage capability. CGTRI funds AI and cybersecurity projects in China. Over 100 UK-linked academics have contributed to these projects. Some may be unaware of CGTRI’s involvement. UK institutions must review collaborations with CGTRI. Academics should verify ultimate funding sources for Chinese research. CGTRI has strong ties to the MSS. Institutions must consider the National Security Act 2023. Those continuing CGTRI-funded research should seek independent legal advice.
