This has been touted by the news agencies for a while. Personally it doesn't surprise me to learn that he had contact with MI6 given his relationship with Bo Xi Lai and other 'leaders' but you have to wonder how much dirt he was actually passing on to the British security services given that such information could have damaged his own vested interests with the Bo family.

Also amusing how the wall street journal choose to wait until the release of the new Bond movie until publishing what most already assumed. That way we can all imagine Heywood being a handsome maverick, sipping vodka martinis, driving fast cars and banging beautiful women as opposed to reality of the situation that he probably had a couple of meetings with some boring grey suit from Vauxhall Bridge. Oh well, whatever sells newspapers.
