They show the mass infiltration of UK and Australian firms by Chinese Communist Party including AstraZeneca, Rolls Royce, HSBC and Jaguar Land Rover. Just from banking alone, there were more than 600 party members across 19 branches working at the British banks HSBC and Standard Chartered in 2016. Potentially, giving the CCP access to important secrets regarding aeronautic technology and banking, among other sensitive information.
