Victor Gao, widely described as a spokesperson for the CCP, denies allegations that China launched 'malicious' cyber attacks on the UK.
Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden said China's "cumulative attempts to interfere with the United Kingdom's democracy have not succeeded".
He said there was an attempt to compromise the UK Electoral Commission between 2021 and 2022 and attacks against UK parliamentary accounts in a separate campaign in 2021.
Mr Dowden said calling out such behaviour was part of the UK's defence, with allies - including the US - set to issue similar statements to "hold China to account for the ongoing patterns of hostile activity targeting our collective democracies".
Andrew Marr also hears from Nigel Inkster, the former Director of Operations and Intelligence for Mi6.
