China has called out the UK for reviving a “Cold War mentality,” urging London to ditch outdated tactics and focus on collaboration over confrontation. The clash follows a UK security report that accused Beijing of posing threats—claims China slammed as “malicious slander.”
Tensions Over Taiwan & Hong Kong 🌏
UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy recently raised concerns about Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the South China Sea, framing them as security risks. China fired back, calling these issues “internal affairs” and warning against foreign interference. A Chinese Embassy spokesperson stressed: “China’s development brings opportunities, not threats.”
A Call for Cooperation, Not Conflict 🤝
Beijing urged the UK to abandon “ideological prejudice” and embrace mutual respect. “Stable relations need open dialogue, not baseless accusations,” the spokesperson added, highlighting China’s role as a “defender of the international order.”
Will this diplomatic spat cool down—or heat up? For now, the ball’s in London’s court. 🎾
