Social Comment: The courage of the British business community should make some politicians ashamed
Author:Global Times Time:2022.08.29
According to British media reports, for the first time between China and Scotland, an container shipping direct route is opened. More than 1 million bottles of whiskey will soon be shipped from direct flights to China from the West Coast of Scotland. Affected by factors such as the new coronary pneumonia epidemic and supply chain chaos, the reliability of the global shipping timetable is currently at a low point of about 40%. Industry provides new stability and certainty. The general manager of Scotland's largest private shipping logistics group said that "it is time for Scottish companies."
In fact, although the British political atmosphere in China entered a "freezing period", the trade relations between the two countries still maintained temperature. Even during the epidemic, high -cost performance from China supports British resistance and helps Britain suppress the pressure on prices. Products from Britain will help meet the diversified demand of the Chinese consumer market. Data show that in 2021, the trade volume of bilateral goods in China and Britain exceeded $ 110 billion for the first time. This is not only against the trend, but also grows up. What is against is the political reverse flow of Britain's encouragement to "decoupling" in China. In this sense, the new routes in Scotland and China not only reflect the spirit of win -win cooperation, but also contain the courage to seek truth from facts.
Under the hustle and bustle of British politicians to fight the drums and fight against China, the China -British trade grows quietly. Behind this is the real life that British companies and the British people can see. However, they have rarely reported on the British media. Instead, whoever scolds China is the most powerful, and whoever is the most powerful, it is easy to get headlines. This is very abnormal, and it is forming a cicada effect and a terrorist atmosphere in the British business community. In the past two years, many normal economic and trade cooperation has been forced to stop because of an inexplicable "political crime". Otherwise, China -British trade can be more vigorous, and the people's actual experience in the economy will be much better than now.
Whether in history or modern international relations, China has never owed Britain, but instead owed the old account of history when China was poor. However, some politicians in London now have strong hatred to China, which has always been gentle, which makes it unreasonable. It must be said that behind the aggressive gesture of China, it is the low eyebrows and dwarfs of Washington. Recently, the British media broke the news that Britain had blocked Huawei because of "security reasons", but in London that after expressing "Huawei is not enough to threaten Britain's national security", it was then the US White House Asian policy adviser to be as "5 length 5 Roar more than an hour. " As a result, the construction of 5G technology in the UK will be postponed for 3 years, and Huawei devices are removed from the UK network at least 2 billion pounds.
In recent years, the United Kingdom has become one of the few countries that have attached the most tight policies in the United States. If Washington has any moves to China, it takes a few words of others, London always comes with calling. The United States and British relations are special, but London is increasingly lost in front of Washington. In the case of "Brexit" being trapped, weak, and high debt stations, some British politicians still use ignorance "personality", prejudice as "principles", and "capital" with anti -China. They look more brave, and will only highlight that they are unable to solve the weakness and incompetence of real problems. However, where will this kind of distorted political ecology that is not working and destructive, and where will the United Kingdom bring?
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Sino -British ambassador -level diplomatic relations. Britain took the lead in recognizing New China in Western countries, and the first to trade with New China. The first to join the Asian Investment Bank, the first to issue RMB sovereign bonds, and the first to appoint the "Belt and Road" special envoy ... These rational and pragmatic "first "One" is the moment when Britain really has the dignity of great powers. Now under the "cold wave" of politics, the courage to show the pressure of the British corporate community should be ashamed of some politicians.
