TOKYO -- MI6, the U.K.'s foreign intelligence service that cinema audiences know best as the employer of James Bond, is in reality shrouded in secrecy. In a rare public speech on Nov. 30, Richard Moore, the head of MI6, broke cover to issue a dire warning about the security threats posed by China in a talk entitled "Human intelligence in the digital age."
"The Chinese Intelligence Services are highly capable and continue to conduct large scale espionage operations against the U.K. and our allies," said Moore.
