The chairman of Britain's foreign affairs committee says China's decision to issue a list of the grievances it has with Australia is 'an extremely aggressive act' and could oblige the UK to follow Australia's lead.

The chairman of Britain's foreign affairs committee says China's decision to issue a list of the grievances it has with Australia is "an extremely aggressive act" and could oblige the UK to follow Australia's lead.

Tugendhat said British Prime Minister Boris Johnson would be "extremely aware" of the list and that he expected the UK and Australia to stand "shoulder to shoulder in standing up for democracy". He urged China's President Xi Jinping to change course or it would put China's future economic prosperity at risk."It's about time that he realised that free countries are not here to be bullied and not here to be pushed around," Tugendhat said.

The comments from Tugendhat, a Conservative MP who is not a member of the Inter Parliamentary Alliance on China, could set off another round of diplomatic wrangling between business, looking to trade out of a deep recession, and the British government.

Bizarre...touch of hypocrisy from the U.K. as U.K. constantly uttering grievances with EU and post Brexit deals

“China is now becoming a democracy.” Say it enough & believe strongly enough in your withers, secretly & it will come true. No policies needed, no strategy or actions just pure faith in peace. Democracy is the only way to permanent global peace. “One Chinese Soul, One Vote.” 🙋🏻‍♀️

Democracy Country should stand solidarity to against the communism hegemony. Say NO to CCP

While China has not only targeted UK and Australia That's why all democracy nations must be united against CCPChina

CCP always threat the Free world. Enough is enough. CCPMustFall CCP_is_terrorists

Trade w/ CCP's China is never fair, they pay much but they need not only your product, the price is including buying your freedom, dignity, techniques (for counterfeit) & your support in their dictatorship. It's time to find a new trade partner.

The international community should not remain silent. That is the lesson we learned from the Second World War.

Tbh, Ccp hostage those civilized states. china spread the virus to the world, made millions of lives suffering. They use thousands of fishing ship to achieve their military goal. They deny the Xinjiang's genocide footage... Y we hv to tolerate the anti humanitarian criminals?

Hostile diplomacy of CCP is not only targeting to Australia, but whole world. 7 billions must stand together against CCP's tyranny
