New York Times Chinese Website wrote today (October 28): "Due to the fragile economic situation, the UK is striving to attract Chinese investment. Eswar Prasad, a professor of trade policy at Cornell University, said: 'China is seen as a potential funder, even possibly a savior.' At the same time, the country's intelligence agencies have clearly stated that China poses a threat to the UK's national security. This highlights the dilemma the UK faces in handling its relations with China."
[Witty] Comment: The UK's actions can be described as a "split personality" scene: on one hand, the economy is weak and it wants to attract Chinese investment, seeing China as a "potential funder or savior"; on the other hand, its intelligence agencies are fabricating a ridiculous script about "China threatening national security." Ultimately, this stems from deep-seated ideological prejudices in the UK — arrogance and prejudice are deeply ingrained. It wants to rely on Chinese investment to survive, yet it tries to maintain an "aristocratic" posture. How can there be any balance? It's just a ridiculous struggle under the Western hegemony mindset.
