一 | London, Oct 18 (UNI) Former British military pilots are being lured to China with large sums of money to pass on their expertise to the Chinese military, it is claimed.
Up to 30 former UK military pilots are thought to have gone to train members of China's People's Liberation Army, BBC reported.
The UK is issuing an intelligence alert to warn former military pilots against working for the Chinese military, the BBC said.
Attempts to headhunt pilots are ongoing and had been ramping up recently, Western officials say.
A spokesperson from the Ministry of Defence said the training and the recruiting of pilots does not breach any current UK law but officials in the UK and other countries are trying to deter the activity, the report said.
"It is a lucrative package that is being offered to people," said one official. "Money is a strong motivator." Some of the packages are thought to be as much as $270,000.
The retired British pilots are being used to help understand the way in which Western planes and pilots operate, information which could be vital in the event of any conflict, such as over Taiwan.
"They are a very attractive body of people to then pass on that knowledge," a Western official said. "It's taking Western pilots of great experience to help develop Chinese military air force tactics and capabilities."
The UK first became aware of a small number of cases of former military pilots being recruited in 2019 which were dealt with on a case-by-case basis, the BBC said.
The Covid-19 pandemic slowed attempts down, when travel to China was almost impossible but the attempts have now increased, leading to this alert.
The pilots have experience on fast jets and helicopters and come from across the military and not just the Royal Air Force. They have flown Typhoons, Jaguars, Harriers and Tornados.
F-35 pilots are not thought to be involved although China is thought to be interested in them. Some of the pilots are in their late 50s and left the military some time ago.
Pilots of other allied nations have also been targeted.
"We are taking decisive steps to stop Chinese recruitment schemes attempting to headhunt serving and former UK Armed Forces pilots to train People's Liberation Army personnel in the People's Republic of China," a Defence Ministry spokesperson said.
"All serving and former personnel are already subject to the Official Secrets Act, and we are reviewing the use of confidentiality contracts and non-disclosure agreements across Defence, while the new National Security Bill will create additional tools to tackle contemporary security challenges - including this one."
UNI MR。 (ECNS) -- The Three Gorges New Energy Jiangsu Rudong 800-megawatt offshore wind power project, Asia’s first offshore wind project to use flexible direct current (DC) transmission, had generated more than 10 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity as of Monday. Located in the Huangshayang sea area off Rudong, Jiangsu Province, the project has a total installed capacity of 800 megawatts and is equipped with Asia’s first offshore flexible DC converter station. It became fully operational in 2021. Compared with conventional alternating current (AC) transmission, the system has reduced transmission losses by about 1.2 percentage points and saved more than 735 million yuan ($102 million) in costs, according to Wang Xuefeng, deputy general manager of the Nantong company under the Jiangsu branch of Three Gorges Energy. Flexible DC transmission enables large-scale, long-distance power transmission while enhancing the stability of offshore wind power integration into the grid. The technology is expected to support the expansion of offshore wind farms into deeper and more distant waters. The 10 billion kWh of clean electricity generated is estimated to be equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of about 4 million households. It has also saved about 3 million metric tons of standard coal and reduced carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 7.4 million metric tons. (By Helen Mo, intern Liu Shuangjing) 。
