Britain Urged to Manage Relationship with China Cautiously Amid Espionage Tensions
Diplomatic experts warn that economic interdependence limits the UK’s response options.
Political adviser Charles Powell has emphasized that Britain must navigate its relationship with China carefully, as tensions over alleged espionage and trade competition intensify.
Powell noted that the UK’s reliance on Chinese investment and markets constrains its ability to respond forcefully to security concerns.
Observers say the situation highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing economic priorities with national sovereignty.
