There are worries that China has been attacking computers to hurt democracy in the UK. Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden will talk about it in Parliament on Monday. They think China is doing this on purpose.
Some important MPs and leaders got a talk from a person who works on security in Parliament. They talked about how China is attacking computers. The MPs and leaders are part of a group discussing China and its power.

China is unhappy with some MPs and leaders because they say bad things about how China treats people. Last year, China punished Sir Iain Duncan Smith, Tim Loughton, and Lord Alton for discussing human rights in China.
These attacks show that there’s tension between the UK and China, especially about how China treats its people and democracy. It’s a big deal because important people in Parliament are involved.

Even though it’s serious, the government hasn’t said anything about it yet. This might be because they need to be careful about what they say to China.
In short, China is accused of attacking computers in the UK to mess with democracy. Important people in Parliament are involved, causing tension between the UK and China.
