Prime Minister Boris Johnson has not only recently described himself as a “fervent pro-Chinese” but also vowed to maintain good relations with China regardless of any future political difficulties.
According to the Guardian, Johnson invited local Chinese investors, including Swire Group, to a roundtable meeting at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Downing Street to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year, saying he wants to restart the annual economic and trade dialogue with China and the Sino-British Joint Trade and Economic Committee, two agreements that were suspended in the past to sanction the Chinese Communist Party‘s persecution of human rights in Hong Kong. But the details of the restart and the Time, but no further discussion.
The report points out that the British Parliament has long voted on whether the Conservative Party should give the courts the power to rule that the state is involved in “genocide,” questioning the Chinese Communist authorities’ oppression of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang and declaring the trade agreement illegal. However, both amendments were rejected by the House of Commons, and Johnson has repeatedly stated that there is no prospect of signing a new trade agreement with China, and that if there is evidence of human rights abuses in China, he will personally withdraw the agreement without a Supreme Court ruling.
