VisitUK PM Keir Starmer Voices Concerns Over Alleged Chinese Spy Ties to Prince Andrew Amid New National Security Laws
Dec 16, 2024, 12:24 PM
Sir Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of the UK, expressed concerns regarding the challenges posed by China in light of allegations involving a Chinese spy with connections to Prince Andrew. During a press conference, Starmer stated, "Of course we are concerned about the challenge that China poses," while refraining from commenting on the specifics of the royal connections. He emphasized the government's strategic approach to China, which includes engaging, cooperating, challenging, and competing with Beijing. Amid growing scrutiny of his administration's ties with China, Starmer is likely to resist calls to designate China as a threat under new national security laws, citing potential economic repercussions. The UK government is also reportedly adjusting its China strategy review to foster closer ties, moving toward a less critical stance on Beijing, as it prepares for a quicker and less detailed approach to the relationship.
