Britain – beware. We must be alert to the threat posed by China, and fast. On our infrastructure, our economy and national security, we must be realistic about the dangers we face.
We know China is building a spying and repression network here in the UK. It has set up secret police stations here to watch and intimidate Chinese citizens. Last week, The Mail on Sunday uncovered plans for a dungeon in the basement of the new Chinese mega-embassy – a project keenly cheered on by Labour ministers.
Meanwhile, China is stealing our technology and using espionage, infiltration and acquisitions that show little regard for financial losses.
Let’s be clear – China’s objective is to make countries like the UK economically dependent on it.
Our national security is at risk. But, judging by this Labour Government’s lazy embrace of China, you wouldn’t be able to tell. In their desperation for economic links with China to offset the mess created by their disastrous budget last October, Labour will do pretty much whatever China wants.
This includes failing to place China in the Enhanced Tier of the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme, a move that would have kept tabs on those working in the interests of the Chinese state.

Just recently, China jailed scores of pro-democracy campaigners in Hong Kong. And a few months ago it put bounties on the heads of dissident Hong Kongers living in the UK. Starmer did nothing about these outrages

Starmer did nothing about these outrages. When the human rights lawyer leading us is too weak to stand up for the human rights of people fighting for democracy, you know there’s a problem.
All you get from our Government is kowtowing to the Chinese Communist Party. The Foreign Secretary, the Chancellor and the Energy Secretary have all bent the knee before China.
Even the Home Secretary has transformed into a cheerleader for a new Chinese super-embassy.
As Kemi Badenoch (pictured) has said, this can’t go on. But instead, Britain is rushing headfirst into the jaws of the dragon, with Labour’s Net Zero zealots cheering it on

China is exploiting this and undermining British businesses by unfairly using state subsidies, stolen technology, slave labour and polluting fossil fuels.
Red Ed’s Net Zero mania is decimating British industry by increasing energy prices and doing nothing to address climate change. It’s madness and will leave us highly dependent on Chinese imports.

We need to take a tougher stance towards China. If Keir Starmer meant it when he said he would put country before party, he would change course. He needs to wake up and smell the coffee.
