      Because they can. What is the UK going to do about it? Stop trading with China?

        The UK doesn’t need to do anything. What will China do if the UK doesn’t do what they are telling them to do? If you make demands (threats?) you should be able to enforce them.

        People don’t wanna believe it but China needs Buyers harder than the West needs sellers.

        China does what anywhere else in the world can do, exploit people.

        Anywhere else does not have the capital and wealth the West does.

    “We urge the UK to abide by the one-China principle and stop using trade cooperation as an excuse to engage in official exchanges or enhance substantive relations with Taiwan

    So they should stop recognising and making deals with the PRC then?
