Daily Mail: How Beijing uses its billions to buy political influence around the world: From £685bn invested in the Commonwealth, building 5G 'spy' networks to 'take-overs' through Latin America and Africa... as China's British 'spy' is revealed 

* The Chinese government has long used its billions to buy up political influence in countries around the world 

* It has invested £685billion in Caribbean countries including Barbados and Jamaica since 2005 

* Beijing struck a deal with Latin American states to build 5G networks and share nuclear technology 

* MI5 has warned MPs about Christine Ching Kui Lee, a suspected spy for China's Communist Party
