Episode Details

UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper is in China pushing for stronger trade ties amid growing economic pressure, but her diplomatic outreach faces sharp criticism over perceived softness on human rights and China’s stance on Ukraine. Cooper defends her approach as principled diplomacy, not “cancel culture,” and raised the case of jailed British citizen Jimmy Lai during talks — though no progress was reported. She also pressed China on Russia’s war in Ukraine, calling for peace efforts, while planning to explore AI and trade in Shenzhen — highlighting the UK’s delicate balancing act between economic opportunity and geopolitical ethics.
