Yang Tengbo, the alleged Chinese spy whose entry to the UK was blocked and who was previously identified only as H6 due to a court-imposed anonymity order, has publicly denied any wrongdoing.
In a statement, Tengbo declared, “I have not engaged in any illegal or improper activities,” emphasising that the widespread label of him as a ‘spy’ is entirely false.
He voluntarily waived his right to anonymity, allowing his identity to be revealed, and stressed that these allegations do not reflect his actions or intentions, reported GB News.
Yang said: “Due to the high level of speculation and misreporting in the media and elsewhere, I have asked my legal team to disclose my identity. I have done nothing wrong or unlawful.
“I built my private life in the UK over two decades and love the country as my second home. I would never do anything to harm the interests of the UK.”
Yang, the former chair of the consultancy firm Hampton Group, had been residing in the UK for nearly two decades.
In a statement released on Friday, Andrew’s office confirmed that he had ceased all contact with the individual, whom he had initially met through “official channels,” with no discussions involving sensitive matters.
Court documents reveal that the businessman was so closely associated with the Duke of York that he was authorised to act on his behalf in an international financial initiative in China.
