China is 'greatest threat to UK's economic security' - Sunak

Rishi Sunak has said that China represents the "greatest state-based threat" to the UK's economic security.

The British prime minister made the comments as the deputy PM is expected to tell Parliament that China is responsible for the 2021 cyber attack on the nation's Electoral Commission.

The commission said last August that they weren't able to predict exactly how many people could be affected, but that the register for each year contained the details of around 40 million people.
