A British court jailed two dual Chinese-British nationals on Thursday after they were convicted of spying on Hong Kong dissidents in the UK on behalf of China.

Former UK Border Force official Peter Wai, 40, was jailed for 10 years and retired Hong Kong policeman Bill Yuen, 65, was given an eight-year term for conducting "shadow policing" on British soil.

Sentencing Yuen and Wai at London's Old Bailey court, judge Bobbie Cheema-Grubb said their actions had been "deliberate, concerted and serious."
