China poses an “an epoch-defining challenge” to international order, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said, launching a wide-ranging review of British policy that left some members of his own party disappointed at a failure to brand Beijing a strategic security threat.
Sunak said the UK will continue working with Beijing on issues like climate change, but insisted that his government would work with allies to “push back” against China when necessary.
