British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will release an assessment report on Tuesday (16), saying that the “number one threat” to Britain is not China, but Russia, and that China is only seen as a “competitor”.
According to the British media “The Sunday Times” (The Sunday Times) reported that Johnson will publish an assessment of national security, defense and foreign policy tomorrow, in which Russia is regarded as the biggest threat to Britain in terms of foreign affairs. The analysis suggests that this is because Russia has often “invaded British territorial waters and airspace” and has been labeled as “ready to murder dissidents in Britain”.
Why is China not considered the biggest threat? The newspaper quoted British government sources as saying that the poisoning of a former Russian spy broke out in the UK in March 2018, and that although China’s attempts to steal Britain’s intellectual property rights do pose a threat in economic and security terms, they are not comparable to the poisoning of a spy in the UK, which is why Russia is labeled as “ready to commit assassination in the UK”. This is why Russia is labeled as “ready to carry out assassinations in the UK” while China is seen only as a British competitor.
In response, Conservative MP Thomas Tugendhat, who has always taken a hard line on China, expressed his strong displeasure and warned authorities that Chinese President Xi Jinping is a greater threat than Russian President Putin; saying that China’s growing power threatens the interests of Britain and its allies, and that “competition The “competition” is based on a relationship developed under fair trade, but this is clearly not the case at the moment.
