Government is ‘making up China policy as it goes’, MPs have warned in new report

Members of Parliament have warned in a new report that the Government is effectively making up its China policy as it goes. This critical assessment follows the completion of an audit regarding relations with China in June 2025, which has notably never been published. The MPs highlight a lack of strategic consistency and transparency in the current approach, suggesting that the administration is operating without a formalised or disclosed long-term framework for managing these international relations.
