UK making up China policy ‘as it goes along’, MPs warn

The UK Parliament's business committee has warned that the government is not having a clear strategy on China, instead making policy decisions on the fly. This lack of a coherent plan is causing problems for businesses and leaving the country vulnerable to national security risks. The committee's report suggests that without a clear strategy, the UK may be forced to follow the lead of either the US or China, rather than setting its own course. This uncertainty could have significant implications for the UK's economy and global influence.

Why it matters

The UK's lack of a coherent strategy on China is causing uncertainty for businesses and leaving national security risks unaddressed. This uncertainty could impact trade and investment between the two countries.
