Australia's tragic end is a lesson for the past, British Prime Minister Johnson "cliff relegation"

British Prime Minister Johnson, known as the "British version of Trump", was able to show the rare boldness of Western politicians at the crucial moment in maintaining cooperative relations with China. Compared to backstore mps who can get a good salary with a cannon but are not responsible, Johnson is responsible for the electoral benefit.

Johnson once claimed to be a "pro-China faction" in a public occasion, and it doesn't really matter whether it is true or not, what matters is that he stood up at a critical moment to prevent the damage to the Sino-British cooperation. According to the Global Network reported on the 17th, the Johnson government rejected a China-related bill proposed by Parliament, which suggested that London define the so-called "human rights situation" in Xinjiang as "genocide", in addition, he also did not agree to prohibit British companies from importing Xinjiang cotton.

According to British media reports, the British Parliament recently passed a China-related motion, in addition to the above-mentioned so-called "suggestions", the motion also "proposes" the government to ban the import of some other Chinese goods that the West considers to be "forced labor". Although Johnson claimed that he would "focus on these issues with international partners", the British government "currently has no plans to ban the import of relevant Chinese products".

This is not the first time johnson has prevented certain politicians from harming China-UK relations. Prior to this, some Chinese companies acquired British chipmakers, and Johnson withstood great pressure from us and domestic politicians to facilitate this acquisition transaction that was once unoptimistic. He also repeatedly reminded MPs that britain needs to cooperate with economic, trade and investment from China.

Britain has been quiet about China's recent smear on so-called "human rights issues," but it has generally been limited to parliamentary level, especially on sensitive issues similar to "genocide," and the Johnson administration has been very cautious. Britain's carrier fleet has also been careful not to provoke China during its asia-Pacific activities.

Also a member of the core alliance of the "Augustus" in the United States, China's attitude towards Britain and Australia is fundamentally different. China's provocation against Australia not only countered trade, but also closed the door to China-Australia diplomatic dialogue, and diplomatic relations between China and Australia have been suspended in a sense.

In contrast, although there are great political differences between China and the United Kingdom, diplomatic and economic and trade channels have remained open. Recently, China and the UK have also held online meetings between leaders and foreign ministers, and both sides are leaving a lot of room for maneuver for each other. China looks at Britain differently, not because Britain is strong, but because it is very flexible compared to Australia, which has no cure.

On the one hand, Johnson wants to ensure that britain is not regarded as a European "outlier" like Hungary, but also to ensure that Sino-British relations do not overturn because of some political turmoil. The alliance relationship in the West has never been reliable, johnson still knows this, regardless of how those allies intercepted the British epidemic prevention materials during the epidemic, let alone the United States, the "most determined ally", although it pulled the United Kingdom into "Augustus", but when the United Kingdom was in a tense confrontation with France because of fishing rights and refugee issues, the United States ignored the United Kingdom in order to balance the relationship between the United States and France.

Combined, Britain has effectively become a solitary. Especially in the current situation where the UK is facing crises such as energy shortages and supply chain disruptions, those allies are even more untrustworthy. Johnson still understood that the issue of eating was far more important than the ideological chatter. He rejected parliament's China-related proposals and could not say that he was "pro-China", but at least he knew how to judge the hour and size up the situation; these wise measures could not only ensure the smooth communication channels between China and the UK, but also create more opportunities for the two countries to expand cooperation in the future.
