"Sir Keir Starmer has arrived in Beijing for a high-profile visit to China vowing there will be no more "ice age." The government chartered a British Airways flight instead of using the governments normal plane over fears the plane could be bugged. The Prime Minister arrived with a delegation of 60 representatives of UK businesses and cultural institutions to build bridges with China."
"Intelligence chiefs have warned that China is looking to carry out online espionage and intimidate dissidents in the UK and get involved in the UK's public affairs. Intelligence chiefs have warned the government "it is not realistic to expect to be able wholly to eliminate each and every potential risk" as Labour has approved the new Chinese super-embassy."
"The Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said she would not go to China if she was the Prime Minister, saying, "I would start by having an actual foreign policy. "Keir Starmer is going to China, but he doesn't have a clear agenda. He's just running around. I know I said previously that he was like a plastic bag blowing with the wind. We have a huge trading relationship with China, but it is also a threat to our country."
Keir Starmer arrived in Beijing with a delegation of 60 UK business representatives to pursue economic engagement with China. The government chartered a British Airways flight after concerns the usual government plane could be bugged. Starmer said the CEO presence demonstrates opportunities. Intelligence chiefs, including MI5 head Ken McCallum, warned that Chinese state actors pose daily national security threats and may pursue online espionage, intimidate dissidents, and interfere in UK public affairs. Starmer said he would never compromise national security and sought a comprehensive approach to China, moving away from the 'golden ice age.' Tory leader Kemi Badenoch criticized the trip and questioned Starmer's agenda.
