By Nick EardleyBBC chief political correspondent
The government is facing pressure to take stronger action against Beijing, after a parliamentary researcher was arrested amid accusations he spied for China.
Senior Conservative MPs have called for China to be categorised as a threat, a move backed by some cabinet ministers.
Rishi Sunak raised concerns about interference from Beijing with China's premier while at The G20 in India.
The Prime Minister said an open dialogue with China was necessary.

The UK's Foreign Secretary James Cleverly visited Beijing in August - The First such visit in five years - and. But there are growing calls for a rethink.
Senior Tory backbenchers, including former leader Iain Duncan Smith and MP Tim Loughton , have called for The government to act.
Mr Duncan Smith said it was " time for us to recognise The Deepening threat that The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) under (President) Xi now pose".
And Mr Loughton warned about " how far The tentacles of The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) reach into British institutions".
" Yet Again The security of Parliament has potentially been compromised, reinforcing how we cannot view The CCP as anything other than a hostile foreign threat. "
Some cabinet ministers, such as Home Secretary Suella Braverman , are understood to support a tightening of The Rules too.
Mr Sunak said on Sunday that he had raised " very strong concerns" about any interference in British democracy with China's Premier Li Qiang .

Justice Secretary Alex Chalk defended The current stance towards China on Bbc One 's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme,
He Said The UK was right to " engage" with The country but Mr Sunak had highlighted The need to " proceed with caution".
