MI6 chief thanks China for ‘free publicity’ after James Bond spoof
Rare response from Richard Moore comes after state news agency posted video mocking western intelligence
The head of MI6 has thanked China’s state news agency for “free publicity” after it posted a James Bond spoof video in response to a statement he made last year that Beijing was the spy agency’s “single greatest priority”.
Richard Moore, codenamed C, intervened after Xinhua released an extraordinary four-minute English video featuring a pair of supposed British spies, James Bond and an apparent Marvel universe recruit, Black Window.
