Yes, because the Chinese government are our moral compass.
I hate Boris, by the way.
He’s terrible and the whole affair has been terrible, but the Chinese want to have a long, hard look at their on government before they say anything, they’re throwing breeze blocks in glass mansions.
As much as I dislike the Chinese, they have a point.
How can we call out others for breaking international law, when we do it ourselves , when it suits us.
This is why not breaking international law is important. 🤷♂️
