Britain to Declare China a ‘Threat’

“The new review will uprate China’s threat level for sure,” says U.K. gov’t source.

From The Sun:

CHINA will be declared an official “threat” in a new strategic review of Britain's enemies, The Sun can reveal.

Ex-PM Boris Johnson's landmark 2021 Integrated Defence and Security Review classed China a “systemic competitor” but stopped short of saying they were actively hostile to the UK.

But now Liz Truss is preparing to toughen that stance after announcing a review of the policy last month.

Earlier today, top spook Sir Jeremy Fleming said: "China’s great strength combined with fear is driving them into actions that could represent a huge threat to us all."

And he told parents to think before they allow their kids on the popular Chinese-owned app TikTok, too.

The boss of government listening agency GCHQ added: “They see nations as either potential adversaries or potential client states, to be threatened, bribed, or coerced.”

In a lecture at the Royal United Services Institute he said China’s approach to tech dominance puts them against “the whole open, democratic order and the international rules-based system.”

And a government source added: “The new review will uprate China’s threat level for sure.”
