Reference News Network reported on April 20 that according to a report on the website of Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao on April 20, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak considered it foolish to "decouple" from China and cut ties, and supported the e-commerce platform Shein's plan to list in the UK.
The report cited Bloomberg消息称 that Sunak might refuse the US Trump administration's plan to restrict interactions with China, and described cutting ties with China as foolish during an interview with Britain's Daily Telegraph recently.
The report also stated that regarding Shein's plan to list in the UK, despite concerns about the supply chain, Sunak still expressed support for the company's initial public offering (IPO) in London and said that the UK welcomes new listing arrangements.
According to a report on the website of Britain's Daily Telegraph on April 18, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak said that it would be "very foolish" for the UK to "decouple" economically from China, which is a rejection of Trump's attempt to isolate Beijing.
The report stated that Sunak explained the reasons for deepening partnerships with China rather than setting up new barriers in an interview with The Daily Telegraph.
When asked whether she was willing to reduce contact with China to appease Trump, Sunak said: "China is the world's second largest economy, and I think it is very foolish not to engage. This is the approach of this government."
This week, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration plans to use tariff threats to pressure trade partners to limit their transactions with China.
"Nevertheless, Sunak has expressed her determination to revive Sino-British relations," The Daily Telegraph wrote.
