It’s “increasingly concerning” that the UK government doesn’t have a coherent China strategy amid growing tensions between the two countries, the chair of the International Relations and Defence Committee said.

The committee’s new report, published Sept. 10, said the deliberate ambiguity and the inconsistent China policies of the three most recent governments mean that there’s “no clear sense of what the current government’s strategy towards China is, or what values and interests it is trying to uphold in the UK–China relationship.”
