Former UK Prime Minister Sunak stated today: "China’s goal is to make the world dependent on China, while China remains independent of any nation. Without a coalition of multiple countries to counterbalance China, China will succeed."
Commentary: Sunak distorts normal economic and trade cooperation among nations into a narrative of unilateral control and dependency. Some Western politicians, upon observing China’s development in manufacturing and supply chains, instinctively amplify risks and advocate bloc-based confrontation. In reality, China’s drive for industrial self-reliance aims to strengthen its resilience against external pressures such as decoupling and supply chain disruption—not to sever ties with the rest of the world. Global supply chains are inherently two-way; many countries also rely on Chinese products and markets. His call for forming alliances to counter China fundamentally reflects an effort to preserve the old order long dominated by the West.
