- “We all took burner phones. You would not take your own laptops and telephones to China.”
Chair of the APPG on China Richard Graham tells Matt Chorley he encouraged Chinese officials on a recent visit to put out statements reassuring they will not interfere in the UK election because he believes the country wants to make itself "more likeable" to the West.

Those who sing 'kumbaya' with China have always been shown to be wrong.
No thanks.

100% they are the ones keeping the Russians going.
Good idea and then your economy will decline more. Love it.

The basic element of a relationship is trust, and this concept is totally foreign to China.
It's also true that one can trust his enemies better, because they will never stop being your enemy.
Friends can betray you, enemies will never do that.
China puts its trust in distrust: They have the best CCTV.
Maybe stop investing in the enemy?
About as trustworthy as putin
So more trustable then netanyahu

The US routinely "inspects" and copies the contents of travellers laptops, tablets, and phones, without any sort of warrant or other court ordered seizure. They've also spied on absolutely everything you've done online for several decades.
Because of issues of ego and "historical grievances," China want's to rewrite the international rules and systems that have benefited them greatly. The problem for China is that the world is waking up to the fact that they have been a "free rider" for far too long. The world is asking them to become a "normal" country and this seems to be a significant negative change from their perspective. We should have never coddled them.
'The world' is not asking China to do anything.

I’m not optimistic. They want to be liked but they’re not prepared to take the necessary steps to restore trust. They want it both ways.
They’ve just been caught hacking NZ, UK and Australia….real trustworthy.
Both ways? What things have the West done aside from pointing fingers?

Actions speak louder than words!
It is indicative how well 'liked' by their neighbours are both China and Russia..
Geez! If China currently has any sense of “wants to be liked” I’d hate to see them when they’re are trying to deliberately be jerks 😉😂
They are helpers of rasPOOtin & his gang 😢
Precisely!

And if you believe that lie, Xi has some seaside property for sale, located in the Sierra Nevada range.
Or somewhere else in America. They've even bought tracts beside military bases. I used to laugh at the idea that Americans would sell their mother for a dollar. It's scary to be in my 60's and for it to be kind of true.

On Winnie, Winnie, Winnie, when will you _EVER_ learn? Are you still wondering why NO ONE trusts you? THINK.
A policy of appeasement eh? Like the one between Britain and Germany in the lead-up to WWII
China has no plan of invading other countries to create an Empire (except Taiwan and some islets in the Spratlys) . If we were to make an analogy between a country and Hitler's Germany, we could be make with Russia though, because they intend to invade a lot of countries to extend the Russian lebensraum. China is not trying to expand its lebensraum.
I think expecting China to change it's way will bring disappointment . It has an agenda and will keep to it.
Part of the axis of evil.
We are talking geopolitics here..Try to behave like a grown up. Only children and evangelists believe in the bed time story of inherently good nations (the West) fighting the evil foreign nations..
Me, a german being confused how to feel about it. 😆
Most definitely.
Bit more powerful than the fake one dubya proclaimed except for Iraq they were broadly aligned with eachother
Liked? After their recent behavior, that is a vain hope. Trusted? After their recent behavior, that is another vain hope. Betraying "unlimited friendship' with Russia? That I believe.
What happened with friendship without limits? 😅😅😂😅😅😅😂😅🤣🤣🤣😅
Brexit
well it went to far over the limit. Now they want 'friendship without limits" with the west ? .... BECAUSE THEY NEED THE SEMICONDUCTOR CHIPS TO KEEP BUILDING THEIR INTERCONTINENTAL MISSALS
this is the same guy who has been consolidating power and disappearing any entities that were friendly towards the west... xi is bent on expansion, his neighbors should be worried the most.
china is indeed different from Russia when it comes to greed , SECOND TO NONE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The snake already tried to bite us inside the cozy house. We can’t it in again
China has seen what's happened Russia now that it is a pariah state so it probably not want to follow that template. The west is much stronger and more important than Russia therefore continue to trade with the West trumps helping Putin too much. Russia is now very easy for China to take advantage of, therefore thats the path they will follow
Yesterday's man. There isn't anything more important than the environment
Wishful thinking, China can play a clever game.
unless a leader gets a little too arrogant, also debt

Taking back Outer Manchuria and Vladivostok would be a thousand times easier than invading Taiwan. Just something to consider, Xi.
Don't think Outer Manchuria has extreme UV lithography machines to print chips though.
@@willkerslake8820 no but it does help circumvent the First Island Chain, gives access to much needed fresh water in Lake Baikal and opens the gates to Siberian oil and gas. How many of the Taiwanese chip fabs do you think would survive a PLA invasion? If they weren’t outright destroyed, the Taiwanese would destroy them voluntarily if they were at risk of being captured.
But Taiwan is a hundred times more better than anything in ghetto russia on the other.

Why does China only have one font for English?
better question-why does china even have signs in English ?
I've been trying to point this out to my family and friends but no-one else seems to get it. You'd think after all this time China would switch to something more classic but as is it looks terrible, makes whatever it's written on instantly appear to be of tofu-dreg quality.
They hate serifs.
...until it attempts to invade Taiwan.
More lies.
Keep smiling.
Lets analyze this question very carefully and at length.
The Chinese State sells its Products to the West, i.e. Western Countries are its Top Buyers.
I don't believe this Seller wants to pick a fight with its best Customers.

Sorry it took so long to explain.

Historically China will lock the door and put up a closed sign. If the people starve, and resort to widespread cannibalism, their leadership says, so be it. (Their last famine, in the early 1960s, I think, left millions dead).Their 'chosen' leaders will be worshiped by whoever survives. That's always been, will be a central part of their culture.
specially if their economy is collapsing ....

China's refusal to abide by the UN ruling and its insistence on the nine-dash line is widely interpreted internationally as a ploy to extend its influence and control over neighboring Asian nations. Moreover, their request to remove the ship appears to follow a pattern similar to their actions in the Spratly Islands, where they initially promised to withdraw but ultimately maintained a presence, fueling concerns about their true intentions and regional stability.
SCS can be peacefuly when US 7 fleets and militery bases around that area disapeard
China excluded itself from compulsory abitration. just like the US doesnt abide by any ruling against it
PCA is not part of UN, their ruling is not a UN ruling. The ruling was refused by all countries in South China Sea.

Why does YT like the ccp so much that it does not allow honest, truthful condemnation of its appalling behaviour? Ad revenue?
Another hilarious contribution to the Davos Party by Times Radio. You guys never fail to make me laugh
Pooh sticks
Thays not what the ccp is good at.
Transparency, honesty, accountability, equity.
If they as a people and as a government are incapable of having that at home, its beyond absurd to think they’d apply that abroad.
Maybe dont fly spy balloons, build replica US military bases and do military exercises on them, orchestrate the fentanyl crisis killing hundreds per day, give military equipment to Russia, have every single PR statement be blaming America, build coast guard boats to ram Philippine ships, build artificial islands, violate taiwans airspace daily, steal intellectual property, execute cyber attacks, install “police” stations in foreign countries, take political prisoners, create a safe haven for hackers, aggressively build up your military with explicit aims against the west, etc.
Its a looong list.
Maybe they want to become a member of Nato as well 😂😂😂
Then act like civilized people who care about human rights.
Oh, how ironic is this?

It's an old saying, keep your friends close and you're enemies closer. China supplies the world and the world keeps China going
Britain v China- no way we can dictate to them. Is it not about power and not about being liked. Why would they swap Russia resources for being liked? Ultimately they want to be powerful. We just don't have the stick to push China about. We lost leverage over Russia with sanctions and us choosing the policy of isolation. It's sad to see us reduced to trying to get China to use its leverage on Russia which shows we have no means of persuading them. I also think it's a misunderstanding of China's foreign policy which is largely about making money and spreading influence that way. The China believe that if Russia lose all western efforts would be to target them. This war is actually good for them economically/ They don't have an ethical foreign policy. The Chinese just like the Indians will do what they perceive to be in their best interest. Since we don't walk in their shoes we can never fully understand why they think what they think. Just like with Russia, lectures and sanctions just won't work. They may make us feel better but we seem to be losing the economic battle. PPP is a better measure of economic performance rather than nomInal GDP. Nonetheless, the interviewee speaks with a passion and is clearly dedicated.
Will China now welcome tourists more from the western nations?
Ha, ha, ha, ha! They built the Great Wall to keep foreigners out, and ideologically its weaker than their xenophobia. Soft Racism, much?

The CCP already have some of my biometrics as it’s a prerequisite to enter the country on a short term visa . I’ll worry about it if it becomes an issue later . Truth is you can track anyone’s digital footprint at any time . People buy from china all the time and especially electronic goods etc …
I found the Chinese people to be thoroughly nice and welcoming . I’ve been there a few times . The Chinese government know that democracy would rip China apart along regional and ethnic lines . It’s not so simple to make democracy work everywhere . It doesn’t work that well here and in the states . Granted …. It’s better than an autocracy , but horses for courses .
Mass populations like in China and India with diverse ethnic and religious groups are nearly impossible to govern .
china is mostly han so a central government with some autonomous regions would work.
India would be more than happy to take their place.

Like a crocodile so deep in water his eyes can't see he's swimming in debt. We are sympathetic to you Mr.Jinping; but you were there during the beginning of this. So the whole real estate bubble and economic issues rose up to this level of market absurdity under your nose. Perhaps being self guided you asserted authority where you should have asked critical questions about unchecked economic and housing growth. The opposite has been happening in the US. Not enough and where it is it is It is out of reach to actually purchase for average people. Maybe you work best when under a challenge and maybe this is what the Chinese people need? You really need to have people who are attentive to details working for you who are not afraid to tell you the critical details and not yourself overreact to bad critical news. It is time to wade out of the swamp sit back in the sun and not be so overly territorial. Perhaps you should direct your energies toward cooperative and practical efforts that all can become corrected.
China and west friendship is the key stop the war and avoid Japan invasion
Lol, China is the one intruding on other countries. Your ssd attempt at disinformation is pathetic.
Putin is one of the Wests biggest fans and Western countries were all over him like a rash. Lets not forget one of the WEF's biggest fan boys.
The West pushed Russia and China together your words won't separate them. Europe is paying such high prices for LNG their businesses are unprofitable. I just read an Article how all of Germany's large industries are moving to China. Europe hasn't seen the writing on the wall apparently. Bottom line Europe has made themselves business unfriendly and that will have an impact on your GDP.
BS. The West did no such thing. In the early 20th century, Russian leaders found a scam almost as good as autocracy and ran with it. The west didn't want it. The west never wanted Chinese, ancestor worship, turned living men worship. Two scams for a permanent, near omnipotent ruling class. Russia (USSR) and China just both swiped right on geo political Grinder.
Some German companies are investing heavily in producing in China. To take advantage of cheap energy there much of which is from Russian hydrocarbons. Which is a bit ironic when the point of sanctions was to reduce the money Putin gets from oil and gas.
But these companies are building plants in the US as well where energy is cheap. The era of heavy industry, chemicals etc, in Germany is ending because of Putin's war in Ukraine.

Usa is a high school joke while china is that kid that is now a valedictorian senior.
Who wants to be helping to a country(Ukraine) which kept killing civilians(russian language speakers) since 2014 ? It would be the same if someone would start helping to a man who attacked another man....( Russia is helping to civilians in Donbas since those civilians were killed by thousands since 2014) What is the point here ? About Ukraine war I say it like this: Would USA like Russia´s army in Mexico or Cuba? If your answer was NO while you do not mind NATO(it means USA´s army) near Russia, than something is very wrong with your reasoning, period
Russia is helping the people in the Donbas by destroying the Donbas? Russia started the war in the Donbas by sending so called separatists (most of them are from Russia) in 2014 after they took Crimea (after denying that those green men where Russian soldiers)
You actually think China cares if the UK 'likes' them or not?
No, of course, China doesn't, which is why the collective west has to be on its guard.

@@Withnail1969 The West is getting more & more choices every day.
Why should China be different in its aspirations from Brittain 150 years ago? It is normal, that China plays a smart card. Or them, or us... that was the game the EU and the USA defined the rules. So, in the end, they learned this from us.
China is an old, old place. They were playing the game long before Britain. Ask, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Indians, Koreans, and on and on. From some combo of inferiority complex and racism, The Chinese just seldom took their game far outside Asia. And, no, Ghengis Khan wasn't technically Chinese. Xi Jinping is even cracking down on country bumpkins in China who still worship Khan.
Because they're negatively affecting their neighbors and the environment. We've learned a lot from the past. So China doesn't get to be a mature and responsible player on the world's stage?
@@patrickt49 Yes, they are copying "big" power behaviour. It seems, if you are a big player, that is what you do. Find examples in which any European country (up to now) has been "responsible". They have been responsive to their folks but not to outside folks. Today, the display investigative journalism from Algeria to Timbuktu. NGOs should play the role of democratic entities within a non-democratic environment. Guess. where (in the past) Western Germany would send their toxic waste and bury it? Yes. To Eastern Germany. (former DDR). Now, they send it to Napels (...). Noone is better here. No-one asked about China`s workers health when they produced the world´s electronics, plastics etc. We critizise and point the finger.... and we agitate.
