This coalition of what he calls"PRC-sceptic" MPs includes: pro-American MPs who fear a UK/US trade deal could be threatened unless Britain matches President Trump's hostility to China; human rights advocates concerned about its treatment of Uighur Muslims; liberal internationalists disturbed by China's challenge to the global rules based order; new MPs in the north of England anxious about factories damaged by China's anti-competitive practises.
Other Tory MPs are looking for a tougher response on Hong Kong. And now, in the wake of what many MPs see as China's mishandling of the pandemic - its initial attempted cover-up, its subsequentBut this growing China-scepticism is not shared by all and will be resisted.The Conservatives are led by a prime minister, Boris Johnson, who has been instinctively supportive of engagement with China.
These MPs fear the anti-China mood gripping both sides in the US presidential election is beginning to infect British politics too. "But it is not the most important thing in the minds of our constituents. The most important thing is going to be jobs. And in that sense, having a strong partnership with China makes absolute sense."So perhaps the biggest obstacle to the growing tide of China-scepticism will be the huge economic downturn expected to follow the pandemic.
We have let China take over our country and it's going to be hard to stop them.
Would think many countries have issues with China!
The relationship will be whatever China wants it to be. There are only two powers who can deal with China on anything like a level playing field the USA and the EU, and the USA is collapsing in on itself because they ignored the scientific evidence to come out of China.
foulmouth needs washing with soap
Long overdue.
Has UK recvd the credit note on the dud testers we paid up front for but had to send back to China. I bet not.
Relations must be great. China poisoned the world bringing it to its knees. But is currently building the divided kingdoms nuclear power stations, 5g infrastructure and the republic of Londons HS2. China's mate Russia has its navy floating round Scotland. They have it sussed imo.
Just another tactic to hide the fact that the UK government has fail to adequately protect the uk people on all levels . Failed to prepare,failed the NHS , failed the care workers , abandoned people in care homes and ignored their own advice. UK government equals incompetence
Boycott China!
If the BBC looked at the trade gaps they would see china is reliant on the uk, usa and other western nations for their basic trade. Not true the other way around. We export relatively little to them. Where do you think the balance lies
Damn right there will be poor relations with China. How *dare* China be nothing else but apologetic to the entire world 😡
Really?! Hmm. Why?.
What do you want from evil CCP? If it's money,you're out of luck! I did know that you didn't want to be a crazy politician...sick BorisJohnson
Boris Johnson opens number 10 surprised to see his 2 chow mein's, 2 sweet n sour pork , 12 spring rolls , 1 beef n mushroom and a large portion of chips finally arrive 3 weeks after placing his order...
Yeah because this is the big political story should be focussing in on...
I'd focus closer to home, like just behind Boris, I think you can see the stings.
Good! China recklessly or purposely released COVIDー19 on the world, covered it up and killed thousands! The communist dictatorship CANNOT BE TRUSTED! ChinaMustPay
There’s a price to pay for killing the global economy except theirs & for manslaughter of over 1 million innocent people worldwide through lies, deceit & deception. No matter how this disease came about, you cannot forget the lies from the Chinese ambassador in London - sanctions
As distant a relationship as possible, thanks.
Wait until the gammons find out about the number of concessions the Tories will have to make to get trade deals with Asian countries. They'll lose their shit good and proper 🤯 That's the day Brexit comes home to roost for them and they realise they've been had 😂
If China, cannot answer 3 times it's virus then we need consider a bio war!

Is the debate over how far the UK should bend over?
Morally they should face an epic ass whopping, realistically nothing will happen.
Banging the drums of cold war 2.0, keep your propaganda many of us seen this coming months ago. Not interested in taking part in ww3 thanks I have an aversion to giant extinction balls.
