'We don't have time to care about British elections,' CCP spokesman says after hacking accusations

- ‘No-one has any bandwidth to care about the elections in Britain.’
Victor Gao, widely described as a spokesperson for the CCP, denies allegations that China launched 'malicious' cyber attacks on the UK.
Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden said China's "cumulative attempts to interfere with the United Kingdom's democracy have not succeeded".
He said there was an attempt to compromise the UK Electoral Commission between 2021 and 2022 and attacks against UK parliamentary accounts in a separate campaign in 2021.
Mr Dowden said calling out such behaviour was part of the UK's defence, with allies - including the US - set to issue similar statements to "hold China to account for the ongoing patterns of hostile activity targeting our collective democracies".
Andrew Marr also hears from Nigel Inkster, the former Director of Operations and Intelligence for Mi6.

Blaming China for giving them an Indian PM? 😂😂😂
Marvellous
Boommmm
Hilarious😂
😂🎉
😂😂
Why would China care about elections in a tiny failed state on the other side of the world 🤣
This tiny failed state is taking orders from Uncle Sam
china has more opportunities in africa than uk
Indeed.
Oh, wait, maybe useful as negative exemplars on what mistakes to avoid.
well for a million reasons lol in part because of the fact its a tory induced failed state that CAN be had its way with
That’s exactly what the spokesperson said but politely.
Hilarious how the Brits still think they are important in the world

I mean considering how cheap british politicians have proven to be... why even hack?
Yeah, it'll be cheaper to buy them for a tenner!
@@JA-pn4jitenner sounds a bit much like
@@ronangould5989 I think that he means all of them for a tenner, not a tenner each.
Gao says it all. China is not competing with the UK at any level, meaning the UK is a total non-entity. Victor Gao knows that it is useless to try to influence British politicians because they will always just obey whatever the US command them to.
China may not see the UK as a competitor but it certainly views it as a rich seam of intellectual property to be mined. Plenty of clear examples of IP theft, from commercial to military, that should should convince even the most sceptical that the UK is of significant interest to China.

@@technokicksyourass The difference between France nuclear weapons and UK nuclear weapons is that the French owns and controls their nuclear weapons! UK doesn’t own its nuclear arsenal! It belongs to US army They are currently seating behind the monitors in the UK not the British military!
Let me say it again, the nuclear weapons in Scotland belongs to America not Britain!! To use it we need permission from the boss, the US, just like Italy and Germany has to do the same as those countries have nuclear weapons put there by the US!! So the next time people start bashing the French, they must remember, the French doesn’t need permission from anyone to use nuclear weapons, we do in the UK!!
@@Testio26 True but the French are also very dependant on US military logistal systems to move their equipment around the world. They dont like to admit that, just like Brits dont like to admit what you just explained.
It is must be CIA - not China.
True remember “vault 7 “ 😂😂😂
Nah. CIA is interested in spying on international relevant itentity. USA owns UK.
This is very likely, to create tensions between China and UK. The World is now so familiar with the CIA playbook.
It is MI6
Maybe they didn't realize they hacked their own system. 🤣🤣
🤣Im surprised he did not tell him "We did not even know you guys had elections at this moment!"
Look like the British was trying to look important by saying the Chinese are targeting them. Unfortunately, the Chinese don’t consider the British their worthy opponent.
Hahaha like Britain is relevant!
Honestly. Why on earth would China be bothered???? Talk about gaslighting
China still wants back the looted treasures from the Summer Palace. China still remembers that it is the British who sacked and burned down the Summer Palace. They stole HK and HSBC. HK is returned but not HSBC.
You know how narcissists are...
The Tories are so far up their own arses they couldn't tell the truth under any circumstances.
UK trying their best to make their self known to their master the Americans that they still useful for the White House.

No one more so than the tories, they have gutted this country for decades we are food bank Britain now, absolutely nothing works here, crazy levels of poverty and destitution
UK is too overestimated their own standing in the world. With colonialism mindset they suspected China on what they have done to others in the past. Their own sins in the past is haunting them now.😂

Which is why you and others spend hours of your time talking about the UK. And unfortunately, just because you don't like the UK or think it's not worthwhile to anyone anymore, doesn't mean that countries like Russia and CCP China don't invest time in subverting elections of western countries

And then some American came storming over and told them to NOT do business. Boris Johnson and other British people at the top even admitted to this. Don't under-estimate how much the Brits will kowtow to the Yanks.

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." - Napoleon Bonaparte
The UK has shot itself in the foot because of the quality of British politicians.
If the Chinese did hack them, I don't think their meddling would make any difference. With all their smart they wouldn't be able to find one worse than their parliament could.

Small country like UK trying to make it's self important. Why would a big international player be interested in the affairs of a poodle .
China is doing the same stuff in New Zealand and the US. This guy is talking about the UK aspect of the Chinese state hacking because that's where the radio station is.
@@Ok_yes_its_me Just think about it, the one who keeps on being caught spying on everybody, including their allies, is their cousin at the other side of the pond. Don't you know the instances where they were caught again and again? I understand, your media doesn't ever mention them.

@@Ok_yes_its_meno they aren’t, both because they know those countries don’t matter, and it makes no difference, but Westerners tend to be way too arrogant to consider their own countries might be irrelevant.
Thank you LBC for giving Victor Gao some air time. China is a peaceful country seeking win-win relationships with all countries.
Ironic username. As an Asian person, who's witnessed the effects of Chinese programs in non-Chinese countries, I can assure you that no country is looking for purely win-win relationships, especially China. They're basically doing what Britain did in the past. Have you seen what they're doing in the South Asian countries? They're basically doing country-wide gentrification. It's a new form of colonialism. It didn't quite hit me until I visited the Philippines. You see a beautiful, lavish Chinese casino. Right outside, you will see poor, native, Filipinos, not even allowed entry in certain areas of the most metropolitan cities. Seeing Filipinos banned from parts of their own lands is a disgusting sight.
The Chinese are doing what every other massive superpower has always sought to do. Dominate.
No they will swallow us like they did to Canada
Including the ones that China has taken over by force?
The British still think the power is still with them, how naive
Some PEOPLE refuse to learn.

I love China
The Uk still thinks they are the greatest country in the universe
The whole video can be summarised in just two words: Who cares?
Excellent observation 😂😂😂
World Health Organization cares about the UK
Who cares UK
It makes no difference to China which party governs the UK because it will take orders from Washington. For instance "We have independent foreign policy. Our intelligence agency has checked Huawei telecom equipment and found no back doors and there is security threat" After Washington called "Sorry, we have to dismantle those equipment in 7 years. They are security risk"
The threat will come in the form of an "upgrade". May not be there now. China thinks so little of Britain that they carry out these cyber attacks because UK reaction doesn't matter to them. I think banning their EV's would be a start.
i still remember when UK fired its first satelite only to have the US purposely shot it down and submit to 2 decades of humilations.
The back door will be when they get an upgrade from the Internet
I get the feeling that some think Britain is on the same level as China. Pick your battles, comes to mind.
There are still a fair number who believe the UK has an Empire.
UK : GRRRR im so fierce!!
China : Sorry ,who even ARE you?
Gao is being too diplomatic here! What is so vital, so important, so interesting about UK? UK must wake up and take a hard look at itself and see how vital it is to the rest of the world!! The rest of the World is moving forward, progressing ... while UK is regressing!
China is thinking about the future while the UK is doing its best to cling on to the past. Talk about two empires speeding into two completely divergent paths.
CCP lives in the Qing dynasty of Empires and looks to conquor new lands like best friend Russia.

It is true that there is hardly any media in China intrested in talking about British news or topics.

I have never seen any news about British politics, economy and culture on Chinese TV in at least the past decade. The only thing in Britain that is likely to be in the news in China is the Premier League.
Mr Gao is being very respectful and diplomatic to the British people.Otherwise he would have just given a one finger response 🖕
How can UK compete with China and in which area.
Tech be it IOT AI, 5.5G/6G/Quantum communication, Uk is not even close.
Military, Economy, Manufacturing, Space,UK cannot even be seen.
Education, Stem population, Patents, etc, UK can't compare. China is more
interested in building trade relationship with the global south than the western politics
你大部分都说对了，但是教育行业的话我觉得跟你们比我们还有差距😘
UK can buck loud on BBC
Global majority, not global south.. Major countries of the group like China, India, Russia are located in the northern hemisphere. And they are the majority, hence should be known as the global majority, not global south

How do you know China is better at hacking? You don't.
Meh, all these western leaders blaming everything to China just want to cover their ineptitude in their jobs. Truth is, China doesn't even have to do anything at all and just watch the west implode on its own. CHina is conquering the world without firing a single shot, and they are doing it right - economically, through trade and investment where both parties benefit. But...the west is still stuck in their military mindset.
Well said Mr Victor Gao! Eloquent speaker👍
The small dog barking loudly trying hard to make it look big & seeking attention while the big dog in room will just laying around quietly, hardly bothered

Chinese were not the one meddled with Muslim matter in Britain, nor meddled in Scottish or Irish independent, instead it wanted to trade fairly with Britain. That is not true with the UK politicians and their mouth pieces. They all probably are not permitted to express their view be cause of US coercion.
That's true WHO CARE, ....?
Not that UK is not important but it is not important enough for China to pay special attention if it really wanted to. The British are still living in the glorious days of the past when the sun never sets on its Empire. Does the British honestly believe that it still has any major matter of value which requires China to meddle in UK election to get it ? It’s hard for the British to accept that today China has surpassed in most areas of excellence that Great Britain is so proud of in the past. Only by acknowledging and facing up to present realities and strive for betterment were it be possible for hopes of future progress.
