- “What China wants above all is the ability to attack Taiwan and not have to pay a price”.
UK is too “exposed” to China, and sanctions put in place should China try to invade Taiwan will “effectively collapse the global economy”, says Bob Seely.

Bring back manufacturing. Produce and buy British. Stop giving away money to our enemies.
English workers building iphones for 2£ a day? You don't even have the skills, let alone the motivation 😂😂😂
We are not the enemy, you are the enemy if you want to be.
Where is the money in that?
@@gen_x_dad Their sausage fingers wont be small enough. Need Chinese children.
Is that the world beating British manufacturing which was destroyed by ……. ( checks notes) …… Thatcher ?!?!
UK's far too dependant to be able to play at being tough with China, or anyone else who's serious!
Far to small , 70 million vs 1 billion 500 million , in population , Seely is my MP and he is useless
Yepz and the rest of the world, in fact we encouraged it, thank you Blair and more so Cameron
@@DirrtyLittleFreaklong before 'Blair' et-al...
This all sounds really strategic the ONE thing our government TOTALLY fails at. I mean our blinkered naive approach to free trade means we can't even produce the most fundamental component of any industralised nation ourselves any more, Steel!
After 14 years of profiting from cheap chinese made goods (PPE) , now the Tories decide its no that good HA HA.
UK is too insignificant on the world stage for China to bother with UK politics! Don't overestimate yourself!
A sunset country. Empire no more. Third World now.
So there will be a cow day. A public holiday
14 years. Result = nothing.
What China Policy? Do what the US says and be a good poodle puppy period. If the US says jump UK How high?
China seems past the point of trying to be nice or even pretending
With the West constantly provoking them... why should they try to be nice?
The UK and the US never was. They are one country, so Was not Were.
We are also free, from colonisation. So there's less trust. You would trust your former slaves, one of their descendants even help you run the country.
what did China do?
@@umbrellastudio7481for starters they lied about Covid. Where have you been in the last 3 years?
Even if we make TikTok into an educational tool that won’t solve the problem. A US based social media company will simply pick up the millions of kids fleeing TikTok-education edition. The reason this doesn’t happen in China is they can tell every social media company how to operate.
we can't do anything without America telling us what to do, be ourselves.
I've been saying that for years.. the uk are nothing but pathetic bootlicking puppets for their masters, the usa knows that.
Why is the news about cyber attacks always coming from politicians rather than cyber security experts?
Does anyone dare to debate me?
If our government are saying it was China doing this then it really wasn't and there is some other agenda at play. I don't believe the government, they have had a track record of lying to us over the past 4 years about everything
We are and have been out played too hard by China and Russia. They got us 😂
Brexit got you.
By trading with countries we limit our chance of war with them.
Who are you trading with?
@@seasonmistsThe UK is the world's second greatest exporter of services - for that reason, services were never included in the single market, or we'd have eaten the EU's lunch. It remains a substantial exporter though people often forget that - we are a top 10 country for manufacturing accounting for 1.8 % of global grade, more than France's 1.65%. However we were never particularly dependent on the EU for our exports, one benefit of Brexit is a huge reduction in the trade deficit with the EU bloc.
@@tomk8729 Will there be an NHS by 2025? Will we be eating American meats too? That's no kind of life. You don't make anything, not even cars, not even your own design weapons, no technology company, no big tech. The LSE has dropped. Arm is listed in America. What did Brexit achieve?
Trade helps when the other side cares. The Chinese are out to control all the countries thru trade , internet and politicol influence.
Fix economy. Forget China
😂 so you just want to rely on your overlords in the usa like the patethic bootlicking puppets you are right now? 😂
China should stop trading with the UK and stop all of there products coming to UK
its simple, UK could try it bro
US has been spying on its allies. Memories are too short. Merkel, Trudeau, Macron, Sunak, and the rest can only see met balloons as spy balloons. All shouting in the same direction
😂😂😂😂
I would be interested to know, if he has ever visited China?
I have nothing against the Chinese or the Russians 🏴🇬🇧
They have anything against you either they just want to control what you and your government do that they don't like.
This guy basically repeats what Americans are saying. UA-cam algorithm will bundle his message with other similar videos by content. The next recommended video will be for example another guy saying the same thing. Basically watching youtube, you will box yourself inside of own belief system. TikTok algorithm to the contrary will discourage this video due to lack of content. Users don’t like repetition. TikTok encourages original content and weird stuff. Kids are susceptible to new things and having shorter attention span. That’s the main difference. Old guy likes to relegate people/algorithm they are not familiar with to malign entities. That’s wisdom btw.
Bring our companies and production back to the UK. It'll bring jobs for the working class and reduce profits to 1%ers at the top.
your UK companies? Which one?
@@kevinrock9802 All of them.
Who gave em the technology....
Thanks for not blaming China in Baltimore Bridge incident.
what technology does UK have?
Fred in Cheltenham signing on
If the Chinese are using tiktok either take it down- take down all the platforms- then people will meet up and get a real social life.
SO basically Brexit made the UK weak in enforcing sanctions.
Nobody takes the uk seriously 😂
Not really. Brexit is made in America. It made nothing useful except a vassal state.
Don't be silly, individual EU members do not have the wright to impose sanctions. They MUST comply with the EU's trade agreements.
No, gutless politicians make the UK weak.
So his name is Bob Silly. So he is obviously silly.
I bought some stuff I though was from a norwegian online business.
Turns out, it came directly from China and they have nothing here but an internet site with norwegian language.
I want to know if I buy anything from that country! If I knew it was chinese, I would rather pay doubble to avoid it.
Everything from China should be marked.
Nobody manipulates people like the British state. See the BBC, Antiques roadshow, David Attenborough and WW2 war films for details.
As the election approaches the ruling party is getting desperate and making imaginary tales
Osama set this propaganda up with his sneaky visit 😮😂😂😂😂.
I cancelled the Times newspaper because it doesn't allow me to comment even though my comments are serious and respectful. Maybe my opinions caused me to be censored.
This century is about races who don't trust each other. China is a capitalist economy with a communist party. It's not so different from France. Name calling doesn't change anything. China is in many ways a rich country.
Tik tok users create contents. If in the US their users create dumb content and the Chinese like to see educational content, its not China's fault.
The relationship would never be so bad if Chinese are Europeans - Anglo Saxon European to be specific.
@seasonmists Well your on the wrong platform, YT censor everything!
@@boota1979No point watching these news on UA-cam then, if they don't want to be commented on.
Not so much free speech allowed by the times. That's why I cancelled the newspaper.
My suggestion is report them for bullying and harassment via the Report menu link
A very sensible man.
We need energy for manufacturing, yet we're closing down our last remaining coal powered generating station
Madness
Shut down all those London Chinese noodle shops!
Why tho what has Chinese noodles do to you
Did we hear the same song before cutting off Russian energy?
@MistyRiley308 What Russian energy did we cut off?
@@boota1979: We stopped buying Russian oil directly from Russia. Now we buy Russian oil from India. Aren’t sanctions great?
@@timonsolus Less then 3% of UK hydrocarbon imports came from Russia or India.
@@timonsolus We only ever imported around 8/9% of oil from Russia, we get most of our oil from the good old US of A. Interestingly Venezuela possesses the greatest oil reserves in the world and look what the maniacs running the world have done to Venezuela....
Do the uk still give foreign aid to China?
Do they?!
No, China sends aid to all our poor and homeless.
Why should a third world country send aid to a second world country?
@@seasonmistsyeah Britain can't afford to feed their own people forget about the world largest economy
Yup
Enough already, I want to hear about world peace and understanding, surely the masses deserve this after centuries of this doom and gloom, fired at us from all angles. People with hope and contentment make the world a better more prosperous place.
