Today, IPAC launches the “UK-China Audit: A New Parliamentary Consensus.”
Endorsed by frontbench lawmakers from every major UK opposition party and senior government MPs, the audit expresses the parliamentary consensus on the UK-China relationship.
🔗 Audit: ipac.global/campaigns/ipac-l…
This public document scopes the key areas of the UK–China relationship. It does not replace a government audit. It backs engagement, but finds that past engagement has often under-delivered for the UK while deepening its risk exposure. China poses unusually diverse risks to UK interests at home and abroad, well beyond national and economic security, so engagement must treat the PRC as a hostile authoritarian state that does not share our values. The audit calls for strategic coherence and clear red lines, stronger legislative tools, and practical China fluency across government and every point of engagement.

L’incontro ufficiale con il Presidente di Taiwan, Lai Ching-te, è stata l’occasione per un confronto importante sui temi fondamentali di questo momento.
Stabilità internazionale, pace, sicurezza nelle catene globali del valore e nella logistica, libertà di mercato e di circolazione delle persone, alleanze tra le democrazie e collaborazione tra Italia e Taiwan sono i temi che maggiormente sono al centro dell’agenda.
Sono felice di aver potuto portare il mio contributo in questa direzione.
