A parliamentary report indicates that the UK is developing its China policy without a clear strategy, risking influence from both Washington and Beijing. The Commons business committee criticized the Labour government's approach since 2024, stating it has hindered business opportunities and left national security vulnerabilities unaddressed.
The report highlights the need for a structured relationship with China, suggesting the establishment of designated zones for investment and trade. It emphasizes the urgency for the UK to align its strategy with evolving European trade protections to avoid being sidelined in global markets.
