Britain is one of the earliest and most resolute countries in Europe to decouple from China in terms of technology. This time, it has again significantly reduced the scope of technological cooperation with China, excluding high-tech fields such as satellites, remote sensing, robotics, and AI.
In 2020, Britain became the first major European power to explicitly ban Huawei equipment. It plans to spend 200 million pounds to remove all existing Huawei equipment before 2027.
Financial Times reported on November 12: The UK government has officially narrowed the scope of technological cooperation with China. In the future, cooperation between the two sides will mainly focus on "non-controversial" areas such as astronomy, health research, and agricultural food research.
As one of the "Five Eyes Alliance," Britain almost completely follows the same pace as the United States.
However, in this case, the fields mentioned by the UK—satellites, remote sensing, robotics, and AI—does Britain confirm that China needs to cooperate and learn from them? Shouldn't it be them who want to learn!
