A report from the Business, Innovation, Science and Trade Committee highlights that the UK government is lacking a coherent strategy regarding its relationship with China, leading to increased national security risks. The committee urges for clearer guidelines for businesses, a ban on imports made with forced labor, and restrictions on sensitive data transfers to China.
The report emphasizes the need for a structured approach to trade, suggesting the establishment of 'red' and 'green' zones to delineate areas for investment and trade. It also calls for better protection of sensitive technology and faster guidance for universities collaborating with Chinese entities.
