UK Postpones Visit by Former Taiwanese President Amid Labour and David Lammy's China Policy Shift
Oct 12, 2024, 11:21 AM
The UK government has requested the postponement of a visit by former Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen to London to avoid displeasing China. This decision has sparked significant concern and criticism, particularly regarding Labour's new approach to China. Critics argue that Labour, including David Lammy, is increasingly aligning with Chinese demands, as evidenced by the cancellation of Tsai's visit. The move, reported by The Guardian, has been described as deeply worrying and indicative of a shift in the UK's China policy. The Foreign Office's involvement in the decision has also been highlighted.
