I suppose Brexit is the equivalent of Make America Great Again, so what next for Rishi? Accuse Labour of vote rigging when the Tories lose the next election?
One day we’ll stop being the lapdogs of the US. Watching the US cling to power is similar to reading about how the UK tried to cling to power during the fall of the British Empire.
The Conservatives prove more of a threat to the average person in the UK than China. So long as we continue to lean on China for importing goods etc. they don’t give a fuck.
>On Wednesday, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer cited the ISC report as he accused the PM of failing to heed warnings about China, leaving the UK “desperately playing catch up” on security. He called for an audit of UK-China relations.
Earlier this week, news emerged that police had arrested a researcher working in Parliament under the Official Secrets Act, amid claims he was spying for China.
Having hostile authoritarian dictatorships in our supply chains and in our system is not a good idea by anyones standards. The critique is that the Tories were too soft on it, same critique with how soft they were on Russian oligarchs.
So does Rishi Sunak, an unelected prime minister and the richest on record, who has in the fine tradition of conservative politicians everywhere used and abused his position to further his own ends, betray the public trust at every turn and feather the nest for his various allies and cronies.
If he really wanted to improve the nation he claims to work for, he’d call a general election and then never be seen in public again.
China? Rishi and his chums have done more damage to this country since 2010 than anyone or anything else.
The Tories always need to present a bogeyman so that people *think* there is a worse threat than they present.
This scaremongering over China is ridiculous. Us and our allies are far worse when you think about what we’ve done globally
Given our track record, including instigating the overthrow of the democratically elected Iranian government in 1953, the attempted coup in Equatorial Guinea, and probably countless others that aren’t public knowledge, it feels a bit like pot calling kettle black.
China is a threat but somehow less of a direct threat than you Rishi Sunak, and the less of a threat than the Tory party, which is interesting because I think it wasn’t long a go that we heard that the Tory party had 2 runners that were considered compromised due to their business affiliations in China.
Rishi Sunak trying to act strong and blameless again.
China is pretty scary… I would tend to agree, I hold no ill will against Chinese people, but the ideologies perpetuated by their government are terrifying. But if he truly stood by what he said he would block things like ULEZ and increased encroachment on individual freedoms.
Tories are a far greater threat and have already done a huge amount of damage to our way of life. Economic terrorists.
China pose a threat to underfunded public services, politicians funnelling public money to their friends and family, increasing poverty, and crumbling infrastructure?

“poses threat to UK way of life” is such a bullshit phrase.
LOL. Conservatives pose imminent and severe threat to UK way of life.
Economic threat – yes
Military threat to our allies – yes
Threat to the safety of Hong Kong diaspora living in the UK – yes
Threat to the safety of Chinese diaspora living in the UK (who don’t toe the party line) – yes
Threat to academic freedom – partially, yes
Threat to the UK way of life – probably not, to be honest.
They don’t pose a direct military threat to us, and will probably only be able to influence our voting patterns, not dismantle democracy.
They are interested in stealing trade secrets and snooping government policies in order to get an economic advantage, and silencing criticism by threatening critics and meddling with universities.
I think if Ukraine has shown us anything, its that NATO and the general Western World are far stronger than any of us really imagined. Put into a near-peer conflict, we are basically wiping the floor with what was supposed to be the major threat to our security by doling out decades old hand-me-downs from old stockpiles. China is no threat to us militarily. I think they can see now something like an attempt on Taiwan, even if they could successfully land and occupy the island, would result in devastation of their population and their economy. They could fire shots tomorrow and the day after a thousand cruise missiles would appear from the skies and decapitate a huge chunk of what keeps their modern society running.
Where China does pose a threat is in its place in the global economic system. China shutting down its manufacturing would seriously hurt us. And ironically that is only the case because of off-shoring and out-sourcing which has almost entirely been pushed by people exactly like Sunak and those in his party.
Rishi Sunak and the Tories pose a greater threat to the U.K. way of life the way they continue to behave and act !!
Oh God. My brother is obsessed with China to the point of bringing it up at every family gathering or even every conversation we have. He’s going to be even more insufferable now.
China is less of a threat to our wellbeing than the Tory government. And I can tell you which one is closer.
Rishi Sunak poses threat to UK way of life more like.
It’s our doing. We wanted cheap shit so turned China into the world’s factory and the world’s second largest economy and a giant military power.
This is a result as of us as people wanting everything cheaper, faster, not wanting to take any environmental hit on production, all whilst selling out to China (and the US of course).
They’re only about 20-30 years late. Mind you, the West has collectively had its head in the sand about this, so the UK can’t be singled out I suppose.
What?
He had better cross check such incendiary comments and watch out for fall outs.

[MI5 said Huawei was fine.](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/mi5-chief-huawei-intelligence-warning-5g-andrew-parker-trump-a9280931.html) Rishi just follows his American masters.
