Cai Xiaohong, secretary general of the Chinese Liaison Office of the Central Government in Hong Kong, has been arrested and accused of spying for Britain. Cai Xiaohong is the son and grandson of senior Communist Party officials. He is said to have received over a million dollars for supplying "state secrets" to Britain.
