BEIJING: China’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Liu Xiaoming (Photo), said that British politicians who have called for ties between the two nations to be restored are at risk of poisoning the relationship.
The rhetoric against China is in danger of undermining international solidarity in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, he said in a webinar on Tuesday (May 5).
The ambassador’s comment is a shady warning to high-ranking conservatives, including Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who said last month that it couldn’t be “business as usual” with China after Covid-19 (coronavirus) .
“Sadly, some politicians in the UK have become addicted to the Cold War mindset to compare China to the former Soviet Union and urge a review of the China-UK relationship, and even call for a new Cold War.” Liu said.
“If not controlled, they will poison the joint effort between China and the United Kingdom, and even international solidarity as needed most.”
The envoy said the global public health crisis highlighted how “helping each other is the only way to a final victory” over Covid-19. – Bloomberg
