Tony Danker, Director-General of the CBI, said UK businesses expect relations between Beijing and the West to deteriorate further, with many British companies accelerating their efforts to shift business from China to other countries.
“Every company I talk to at the moment is engaged in rethinking their supply chains,” he said. “Because they anticipate our politicians will inevitably accelerate towards a decoupled world from China.”
Danker said that if the West cut ties with China, Britain would need to find new trading partners and re-engage with old ones, such as EU countries.
“If the political and security experts are right, we are all going to need to be good friends again,” he said.
At present, the two contenders in the contest to become the new British prime minister, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, are both vying to show their tough stance on the CCP, showing that Britain’s attitude toward the CCP is undergoing a dramatic change.
Lately, British companies are also restructuring their supply chains in preparation for an increasingly tough anti-communist political sentiment, Danker said.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
