Since Brexit, the UK has been strengthening economic and trade cooperation with countries around the world, including China. Recently, however, the British side has proposed to increase restrictions on investment in China, involving technical exchanges and financial cooperation in sensitive areas. The UK government says the move is aimed at protecting national security and interests and avoiding potential risks and threats.
In the face of the UK's restrictive measures, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry strongly responded that China is a responsible major country and safeguarding national security and interests is China's top priority. Chinese society is actively participating in the process of globalization and has made great contributions to world economic growth. China is ready to work with other countries to uphold the principles of openness, cooperation and win-win results, promote economic cooperation on the basis of mutual trust and mutual benefit, and achieve common prosperity.
Relations between China and the UK have always been complex and tense. The British side's increased restrictions on investment in China this time have undoubtedly cast a shadow over the relations between the two countries. However, China's response shows that China has always maintained an open and inclusive attitude towards international cooperation. China is ready to work with other countries to promote the building of an open world economy and jointly address global challenges.
From the perspective of the international situation, cooperation and competition among countries are intertwined, and every country should respect the development path and interests of other countries. It is important to resolve differences through dialogue on an equal footing and promote mutually beneficial cooperation. The Chinese side pointed out that it is not the turn of the UK to point fingers at China. It is hoped that the British side will seriously consider this issue and work with China to promote the stability and development of China-UK relations.
In short, the UK's announcement of increased restrictions on investment in China has provoked a strong response from China. The Chinese side said that China is a responsible major country and is willing to work with other countries to promote an open, cooperative and win-win economic development model. In the current complex and volatile international situation, countries need to respect and treat each other equally, resolve differences through dialogue, and achieve win-win cooperation. Only in this way can we jointly address the challenges and achieve lasting and stable development.
