LONDON, May 13 (Reuters) - Three men charged with assisting Hong Kong's foreign intelligence service in Britain appeared in a London court on Monday after a series of arrests across England.
Chung Biu Yuen, 63, Chi Leung Wai, also known as Peter Wai, 38, and Matthew Trickett, 37, were arrested earlier this month following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command.
The trio were each charged with two offences under Britain's National Security Act, which was passed last year and introduced new measures to target threats from foreign states.

The trio were each charged with two offences under Britain's National Security Act, which was passed last year and introduced new measures to target threats from foreign states.
They are accused of assisting a foreign intelligence service between December and May by "agreeing to undertake information gathering, surveillance and acts of deception" in Britain, according to the charges.
Hong Kong was under British rule for 156 years before reverting to Chinese sovereignty in 1997.
The Chinese Embassy in London accused Britain of fabricating the charges and said it had no right to interfere in Hong Kong's affairs.

The UK side must not go further down the wrong path of jeopardising China-UK relations," the embassy in London said in a statement.
Spying allegations against China and Russia have been piling up in Western nations in recent years. Beijing and Moscow have dismissed them as part of a global smear campaign.
The second charge alleges the three men conducted "foreign interference" by forcing entry into a residential address in Britain on May 1.

The three men appeared in the dock at Westminster Magistrates' Court, where they spoke only to confirm their names, dates of birth and address.
They were not asked to enter any pleas to the charges and they will next appear in court at London's Old Bailey court on May 24. All three men were granted bail.
The Metropolitan Police earlier said a total of 11 people were detained this month, nearly all in the Yorkshire area of northern England.

China's foreign affairs commissioner in its territory of Hong Kong "strongly condemned" Britain for "cooking up charges" and accused it of a "vicious intention to interfere" in Hong Kong's affairs.
The office warned that Britain would receive "China's firm and strong retaliation."
The U.K. has been outspoken about the Hong Kong government's new national security law, which it views as eroding the territory's rights and freedoms.

McDonald’s, Apple and Tesla can’t bet on making a fortune in China anymore

Hong KongCNN —
For decades, Western companies made a fortune betting on the inexorable rise of the Chinese consumer. Now an economic slump and the emergence of ferocious local competitors means those bets look less safe as price wars erupt.
Discounts and special deals are being offered across consumer brands from food and clothing to consumer electronics and cars, reflecting a dramatic shift in consumption patterns in the world’s second largest economy.
One of the most intense price wars is raging in the electric vehicle (EV) industry, where a “life and death” race has manufacturers scrambling for survival.
Tesla’s China market share shrank to 4% in April, almost halving from 7.7% in March, according to data released by the China Passenger Car Association on Friday. Deliveries from its Shanghai factory, its largest globally, fell 18% last month from a year earlier.
The sharp drop contrasts with rising sales by its biggest Chinese rival BYD, which reported a 29% jump in pure EV deliveries.
“Everyone has changed the way they think about China,” said Anne Stevenson-Yang, co-founder and managing principal at J Capital Research. “The business climate has changed entirely.”
Last month, Tesla (TSLA) announced aggressive price cuts in the country, shortly after also reducing prices in the United States and Germany. The move added to a series of price reductions that it has made in its biggest overseas market since late 2022.
