At a time when both China’s role in the world is becoming the focus
of international business strategy and Brexit is pushing the UK to
look to the rest of the world for trade and investment, Kerry Brown
assesses the potential for a new “golden age” of UK–China
relations. For too long, Brown argues, China has been regarded with
indifference by the UK, despite a well-established relationship
stretching back some 200 years. Now, more than ever, Britain needs to
actively engage with China and seek to understand China’s ambitions.
This entails a radical change of mindset, vocabulary and attitude, as
well as establishing a clear vision of what the UK wants from a
resurgent global China, beyond trade and money. Brown shows that our
future relationship with China is deep with symbolic meaning and will
have reverberations throughout the world, as either a sobering example
of what a world run on Chinese values might look like, or as a model
of how to successfully rebalance a sudden asymmetrical dependence on a
newly powerful China. It is one, however, that requires the UK to
question some of its own national myths and the story it tells about
itself, as well as to learn about a new power with a very different
history and set of values.
