UK Prime Minister: A "comprehensive and coherent" China policy should be adopted to avoid the relationship between the two countries from abruptly dropping from the "golden age" to the "ice age"!
January 28, BBC reported: "UK Prime Minister Starmer arrived in China for a four-day visit, marking the first visit by a UK prime minister to China in eight years, with more than 60 business and cultural leaders from the UK accompanying him. Starmer stated that he will implement a coherent China policy to avoid significant fluctuations in Sino-UK relations. The core demands of the UK are to deepen economic and trade cooperation. In 2025, the value of goods trade between China and the UK reached 103.7 billion U.S. dollars. China is willing to take this visit as an opportunity to open a new chapter of healthy and stable development of Sino-British relations."
[Cunning] Starmer's visit to China is a pragmatic choice for the UK amid the loosening of US-EU relations, and also an important attempt to overcome diplomatic indecision. From the "golden age" to a cold period, eight years of twists and turns have proven the essence of mutual benefit in Sino-British cooperation. The repeated policies of the Trump administration toward Europe have made the UK realize the risks of relying on a single ally. The trade volume of 103.7 billion U.S. dollars is a hard basis for Sino-British cooperation, and the UK's intensive visits by enterprises in various fields is precisely a precise response to practical cooperation. In a multipolar world order, the UK's "diversified betting" is actually a diplomatic consensus that countries follow the times. Only by abandoning taking sides can we seize development opportunities in the changing situation!
