      China would be just as unreliable an ally as Trumpian America.

      The UK should be rebuilding relations with the EU, and maybe strengthening them with CANZUK, not cozying up to the Xi regime.

      We can’t be friends with both America and china because of Taiwan. Right now we’re with America, the entire intelligence service is wrapped up together with five eyes and military cooperation through NATO.

      Cosying up to China means giving all that up, so what’s the point?

        He’s pro Trump and his administration was pro division so supporting a similar nationalistic movement as leaving the UK was easy, no the UK is struggling to keep the lights on he can ride the ass he meets
