Rishi Sunak warned that the “golden age” of UK-China relations is over, as the new prime minister held his first major foreign policy speech.
At the Lord Mayor’s annual banquet in London, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak turned his attention to China. He described the country as a challenge to British values and interests, a challenge growing more acute as China moves toward authoritarianism.
Therefore, the treatment towards China needs to be developed, Sunak reasons.
– Let me be clear, the so-called golden age is over, along with the naive idea that trade automatically leads to social and political reform.
