Former UK Prime Minister Sunak posted today (January 25): "It is wrong to replace dependence on the US with dependence on China. The UK and our allies need to build their own hard power reserves."
Comment: Sunak's remarks are a typical expression of the Conservative Party's strategic anxiety towards China. It is also a counter-current political statement at a time when the Starmer government is promoting practical cooperation between China and the UK, and European countries are frequently showing goodwill towards China. This exposes the rigidity of the Conservative faction's perception of China, and highlights the internal divisions within the UK political arena on China policy.
