The view is hardening," they said.

"It's a fact that many countries are struggling with reporting. That's totally unsurprising," Tugendhat said.

In the virus crisis,the Chinese Gov’s ambitions have been exposed, they have no apologies for the virus crisis, and also used this opportunity to launch a series of offensives Now they refuse to cooperate with the world and continue to hide the truth,definitely not a good partner

Evil CCP is so untrustworthy that it’s reasonable to decouple with them!

AndieMeKenna Is RMB really so divine and irresistible?

keep CCP distancing are hot international topic.

Don't tell me he is heavily infected by CCPVirus ...

Resetting the relationship will cause immediate loss. Not resetting will face ongoing loss and future surprise, could be disastrous like Coronavirus.

Will mum still stand with ccp? A tyranny

CCP -failed to control the China originated WuhanVirus -lied about it & allowed it to be exported➡️🌐pandemic -severely damaged🇬🇧UK's public health & economy -exported faulty medical supplies yet claiming to be the🌐saviour CCPLiedPeopleDied DecouplefromChina ChinaMustPay

AndieMeKenna UK issued a weak statement after the massive arrests of 15 pro-democratic leaders in Hong Kong. UK seemed indifferent to CCP’s violation of the autonomy and freedoms promised under the Sino-British Joint Declaration. It is doubtful what UK will reckon about China on WuhanVirus.

Let's hope that Mr Johnson would actually heed the warnings and calls this time round.

lukedepulford BorisJohnson CCPChina dictatorship's arms have been extended to UK seriously via RMB. As a result, some are still suggesting to maintain relationships with China as before, e.g. allow Huawei to build network for UK, etc. UK should stand firmly against CCP!

China wants to dominate the world. Today, the result is painful. Plz transfer all manufacturing lines back home, stop making China investments & DecoupleChina MakeChinaPay

kristjlc Do the right thing. Boris

You cant cooperate with a country who always lie and full of frauds

MakeChinaPay

Can quick recovery bring quick response Keep away from CCP and sanction the Evil Regime together . It's not worth still funding CCP !!

Decoupling 💁‍♀️💁‍♀️💁‍♀️💁‍♀️

There is no reason to maintain close relationship with a country with lies and propaganda, liars won’t be your good friend, always betray you at critical moment. ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied

borisjohnsonpm must rethink why there're 400k Chinese likes for he himself contracting COVID19. ChinaLiesPeopleDie & CCP snubbed UK on Sino-British Joint Declaration. Huawei might cause u lose positions in 5eyes. Does it pay?

crystalhk06 It's a necessary step. But continuing to allow Huawei to take part in the UK's 5G project is certainly a blunder.

It is also of paramount importance for UK🇬🇧 to sanction China as well. Many countries will act on that very SOON. We should gather to gather to battle agaimst this evil empire CCP 🇨🇳 BoycottChina sanction4china AntiChinazi

Dont let UK citizens suffer from the censorship of CCPChina as hongkongers! DecouplefromChina and stop any cooperation with Huawei is the only way!

What is the mentality of keeping a relationship with a constantly lying partner? Mad in love?

Yes. Say no to China

Just like what HKers warned the world, be aware, or be next. Please do not trust the CCP anymore. Please stop dealing with CCP anymore. This might save lives and values. Chinazi ChianLiedPeopleDied

For the sake of UK’s national security and sovereignty, stop working w/ these Chinese state owned telecommunications provider. Allowing Huawei to participate the 5G development is inviting China to spy on you.

China spreads WuhanVirus that killed 20000+ people in UK

Don’t be fooled by the China Communist Party’s propaganda. After this WuhanVirus, will the world learn the lesson and keep their distance from China Communist

This WuhanVirus totally expose the real side of CCP China..hope UK will think twice on this issue..no...it should be everything related to CCP..

Short term monetary benefits can't ensure long term national security n economic development. Dependence on an untrustworthy nation can't be right.

DecouplefromChina or eventually over relies on CCP, the greatest scumbag on earth!

HKWORLDCITY BoycottChina ChinaLiedPeopleDied ChinaMustPay

RobRoy_CN Has he not resigned yet? His failures killed thousands of innocent people. Why do we accept that he’s ‘just coming back to work’? As if nothing happened?

Trade with CCPChina = sell your country Boycott Huawei

If you don’t punish china, how people trust you working for them

It still is.

Glad to see BoJo getting well! Having firsthand experience on how the threat of WuhanVirus being downplayed by China, I hope BoJo has got some new insights on the relationship between UK and such Orwellian regime! DecoupleChina

The World must unite against China to explicit information related to the pandemic coronavirus... China must behave like a convict China_is_terrorist BoycottChina MakeChinaPay

Free world must stand together. If anyone or any nation do businesses from China, then you are funding the global killing of the CCP. ChinaLiedPeopleDied ChinaVirus MakeChinaPay

That’s right ChinaLiedPeopleDied, thousands of British ppl lost their lives due to the CCPVirus!

uk govt should realize CCP would always be a threat to the western world. decoupling with CCP for the sake of national interest and security

All nations in the world is re-thinking about their relationship with 🇨🇳, or to be exact, CCP. UK cannot drop behind.

Stay away from China and keep UK safe.

NEVER count on China, especially not medical supplies & communications technology which, no matter how cheap the production cost is, can be a matter of public security should there be any pandemic like WuhanCoronavius. Don't put people's lives in the hands of tyranny!

So basically getting the excuses ready in an attempt for the UK and US to cover up their ineptitude in dealing with something that they were warned was coming

Don’t trust CCPChina. Otherwise, UK must pay the price.

If UK doesn't want to be the next Hong Kong, DecouplefromChina is the solution CCP can take over your sovereignty through invasion, even president candidates of nations can be puppet of CCP, image how much the UK govt has been infiltrated?

The USA is lining up all his allies to confront China not just on the virus but on multiple fronts

Only weak people keep blaming others

Say no to China

It's time to stop China's influence all over the world. Look at how they control the medical supply and make use of this to ask for countries kneeling down to them. Enough is enough.

And that they must

That's inevitable,

Same hairstyle, different brain

So they're implying that Boris and the Tories have never lied?.....

So they're saying that Boris and the Tories have never lied.....

UK considering 100% guarantees on smallest business loans: FTBritish finance minister Rishi Sunak is preparing to offer 100%guarantees on loans to Britain’s smallest businesses after sustained pressure from Conservative lawmakers and the Bank of England, the Financial Times reported. All right!!!!🤑🤑🤑🤑 Small businesses help prop up the economy. They’re finally realising where their bread is buttered. Must be a humbling experience. It still leaves a cash-strapped business with a loan to repay and no way to be sure when they will have any income. I'd prefer the Government to be putting money into starting and remodelling business. Light the economic fire now with support for new industries.
