China has been part of the Tiktok campaign for Russias candidate in Romania, and one of the vessels cutting cables in the Baltic sea. Its not a benign actor in Eur but acts with Russia. But this guy want to use UKs weakness (left them EU) to make money. Just no.
UK should team up with EU on this.
The West and Europe must counter China, it is vital because China has been waging an underground war in the world for a long time to impose its model. A pro-China policy is suicide.
Trump is a brute as are his equally destructive and disorderly methods
Even before he is inaugurated Trump is creating problems, Denmark & Greenland, Canada, Panama, Mexico, now possibly even the UK. Putin is destroying America using Trump, the ultimate Manchurian Candidate!
The world is full of people very unlike us, if we only do business with friends we do business with no one. But nor should we be Naiive. We need to play to win, not just show up or be the nice nerd who referees the game and is abused by all the players.
China has a bad habit of illegally imprisoning foreigners, including Brits. It illegally interferes in European and N Am. elections. It threatens Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Viet Nam.
You guys have it backwards; Trump wants you to give China money because he's in love with Pooh Jinping. You guys are ignorant if you think Trump wants nothing to do with China; on the contrary, he wants to sacrifice you to gain favor with him.

1. Ally with Russia (Tories did that - we have Brexit)
2. Ally with Trump (insanity or fascism)
3. Ally with China - hmm, China is allied to Russia/N.K
4. Ally with the EU.
