The UK must consider carefully whether China is a trustworthy business partner
Economy
By Baroness Kennedy
As UK ministers stride out into the world in pursuit of growth – navigating President Trump’s tariffs and seeking trading relationships and business partnerships wherever they can be found – it is important to consider two things: whether there ought to be ethical constraints to such activities; and how concerned we should be for our national security in dealing with potential partners.
