Failed PM Liz Truss will use a trip to Taiwan to make a plea for her successor to brand China a ‘threat’ to UK security. Truss is expected to use a speech to challenge Rishi Sunak to deliver on the language he used during last summer’s leadership contest.
following her disastrous mini-Budget, Mr Sunak declared China ‘the biggest-long term threat to Britain’, while also promising to close all 30 of Beijing’s Confucius Institutes in the UK.
‘Confucius Institutes should be closed down immediately. Instead the service could be provided by organisations with the support of Hong Kong nationals and Taiwanese nationals who have come to the UK on a free basis.’ However, her stint in Downing Street — cut short to only 44 days after her mini-budget impact on the markets last year saw confidence in her premiership collapse — meant her update to the UK’s foreign policy position did not have time to materialise.
‘There are still too many in the West who are trying to cling on to the idea that we can cooperate with China on issues like climate change, as if there is nothing wrong; that there are bigger issues than Chinese global dominance or the future of freedom and democracy,’ she is expected to say.‘We know what happens to the environment or world health under totalitarian regimes that don’t tell the truth. You can’t believe a word they say.
