Britain pragmatic over China's efforts to destablise its economy
Posted on 2025-06-25 06:46:13
The U.K. government says China’s attempts to spy, destabilize and disrupt Britain’s economy and democracy have grown, but Beijing is still a vital economic partner.
U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy said Tuesday that “China’s power is an inescapable fact.”
He said freezing relations with the world’s second biggest economy is “not an option.” Lammy outlined findings from a “China audit” conducted by the center-left Labour Party government.
It had pledged to conduct an in-depth examination of U.K.-China relations after it was elected almost a year ago.
Lammy said the review itself will remain classified.
The opposition Conservative Party called the government naive about Beijing.
