They approach him to become a double agent for them. Harry sees an opportunity, and accepts. He goes straight to the HS, informing him that there is an opportunity to play the Chinese/Russians. The Powers That Be take the opportunity, and the Inquiry lets Harry off so that he can continue in his role as triple agent.

The Chinese/Russians send one of their most senior officers to handle Harry, and he eventually turns his handler, thus giving the UK its first senior Chinese asset.

I think that would make a cool thread to run throughout season 10, as well as provide a neat way to get Harry out of the spot of trouble he's in.

I like this idea but wonder whether they (The BBC) would use the Chinese again, after the purported backlash over S9 by the Chinese Government. I think it would have to be the Chinese to work though, as surely Russian assets are two a penny.
