A high-profile espionage case in the UK has collapsed after prosecutors dropped charges against two men accused of spying for China. Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry were accused of breaching national security laws, but the Crown Prosecution Service admitted it could not proceed without officially declaring China a threat at the time of the alleged offences. The case's failure has sparked outrage among MPs, ministers, and legal experts who say the UK's national security laws are outdated. Former intelligence officials are now demanding urgent reforms and accountability.
