BRITAIN must \u201cwean itself off\u201d China, Sir Keir Starmer said today.<\/p>\n
The Labour leader insisted the UK should distance itself from the Communist state when it comes to trade, commerce and technology.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
His comments come as some Tory MPs demand the Government redesignate China as a threat \u2014 not just a challenge.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Politico\u2019s Power Play podcast, Sir Keir said: \u201cWe need to be absolutely clear about the security of the UK and issues like spying and interference.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do we wean ourselves off Chinese influence? <\/p>\n
\u201cThere are big questions that progressive governments could face together.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sir Keir conceded it was impossible to \u201cdistance ourselves\u201d completely from China especially in big issues such as climate change.<\/p>\n
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly today insisted he didn\u2019t have any regret recent talks with China during his visit there.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cDisengaging from China is not a credible option.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Cleverly added: \u201cThere is incredibly important work to do. <\/p>\n
