Cameron, the 53rd Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, recognized the need for change in the midst of the economic crisis facing the country, which was in the midst of an economic crisis. He has been committed to promoting friendly exchanges between Britain and other emerging economies, especially China, and proposed to implement a "pro-China" policy, expand economic, trade and diplomacy between the two countries, and declared that China and Britain have entered the "first era".
But this "** era" did not last long, and Cameron's China policy has also changed due to Brexit. He resigned in June 2016 but returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Development in November 2023. Since taking office, he has taken a very different stance on China, first meeting with Jimmy Lai's son, who "opposes China and destabilizes Hong Kong", and then openly attacks Hong Kong's national security laws, baselessly accuses the Hong Kong police, and attempts to interfere in China's internal affairs and provoke China's sovereignty.
A female reporter from our embassy in the UK said: We strongly condemn the improper words and deeds of relevant British people and urge them to abide by China's legal system and stop meddling in Hong Kong affairs, otherwise it will have a great negative impact on the relations between China and Britain. In fact, the Hong Kong National Security Law aims to maintain long-term stability in Hong Kong and protect the legitimate interests of the Hong Kong people.
So why did Cameron change his approach to China? Why? D**id Cameron was the main culprit of Brexit, having staged a referendum in 2016 that left Britain from the European Union, losing its huge market in Europe and ties with other EU member states, and even causing friction with France over fishing. In such a situation, Britain will pin all its hopes on a ** agreement with the United States to save its country. However, the attitude of the United States towards the United Kingdom is not friendly, and there are rumors that the Biden administration has no intention of signing a ** agreement with the United Kingdom. This will put the UK in an even more difficult position.
From another perspective, Cameron's attitude towards China has changed under the pressure and influence exerted by the United States. The United States regards China as its biggest competitor and potential danger, and has repeatedly suppressed and restricted China in an attempt to prevent its economic growth. The United States has also called on its allies, including the United Kingdom, to impose sanctions on China and unite against it. At the expense of Sino-British relations, Cameron followed the United States in order to pander to the United States in order to win the favor of the United States, and constantly launched the "Hong Kong card" against China, unprovoked condemnation and interference.
This behaviour has had a great impact on the relationship between China and the UK, as well as on the UK's national interests. China has become Britain's most important partner and has made great contributions to world peace and development. China's development is full of opportunities, cooperation, crises and challenges. China has always adhered to the principles of equality and mutual respect, developed friendship with all countries in the world, and resolved various problems in the world. China will also resolutely defend its sovereignty, security and development interests, and will never allow foreign interference or challenges.
Cameron's attitude towards China has undergone a change from "friendly" to "hostile", reflecting the external and domestic dilemmas that Britain is currently facing, and at the same time where Britain is short-sighted and misguided. Cameron should clearly realize that China is not his enemy, but a good partner, and he should abandon his prejudice and hostility towards China, return to the normal track, and regain mutual trust and cooperation, which will not only benefit the basic interests of China and the UK, but also meet the expectations of the people of the world.
