Beijing to Britain: China in the UK's halls of power
Description
From then-PM David Cameron knocking back pints with Xi at the local pub to the Chinese ambassador being banned from Parliament: how has China's relationship with the UK changed since the so-called Golden Era?
This week we have on Sam Hogg (@BeijingToBrit), the recently unmasked writer behind the Substack Beijing to Britain. Co-hosted by ChinaTalk's editor and crypto journalist Callan Quinn (@Quinnishvili).
We discuss
- The decline of the UK-China relationship
- UK attitudes and policy towards Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Taiwan
- The building up of Chinese expertise within Parliament and the government
- Confucius Institutes, higher education and Liu Xiaoming's foot fetish
