Thirty-one Chinese military personnel attended training courses in the UK in the years between 2016 and 2020, while British personnel gave nine training sessions in China since 2014, a UK government minister revealed on Nov. 7.

Responding to written questions from a number of MPs, Armed Forces minister James Heappey said that the training didn’t include any sensitive information and that there had been no training since 2020.
