Former Prime Minister David Cameron has defended his decision to forge strong relations with China during his time in office, despite the country's increasingly aggressive behavior. Cameron had famously referred to this period as a "golden era" of relations with Beijing in 2015.
Criticism and Concerns
Tory MPs have criticized Cameron's approach, particularly in light of China's crackdown on Hong Kong and treatment of Uighar Muslims. The Beijing regime has become more assertive and aggressive, employing what is known as "wolf warrior" diplomacy.
Importance of Security and Protection
However, Lord Cameron, who now serves as Foreign Secretary, emphasized the importance of security and protection in the face of China's actions. He stated that engaging with China remains crucial despite its aggressive stance.
Trade and Economic Considerations
Cameron defended his engagement with China as Prime Minister, highlighting the need for Britain to grow and trade with other countries to boost its economy. He emphasized his efforts to promote British exports by visiting India, China, and Africa.
Return to Frontline Politics
Cameron recently made a comeback to frontline politics as part of a cabinet reshuffle. Speaking about his appointment, he expressed his commitment to public service and acknowledged the daunting challenges facing the country, including conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine.
