Britain cannot become strategically dependent on China and must work with “reliable partners” on its critical national infrastructure, UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has said.

Truss, who replaced Dominic Raab as UK foreign secretary in a reshuffle last month, is currently on a visit to India to discuss security and defence links with the South Asian giant.
