我今天的领英文章，取笑一下大英帝国。
Does UK dictate its relations with China?
Today’s FT editorial says “UK’s ties with China are set for asea change. Beijing is a strategic rival but one with which Britainmust engage”.
We have seen many such statements. Do they mean half arelationship, a half-hearted relationship, or a coldrelationship?
Is China begging for a relationship? Is China’s eagerness for arelationship always a given? Does Britain control the pace, thedegree and the nature of the relationship?
Clearly the UK-China relation is bilateral, and multilateral.Britain does not have full control over it.
When you have been a power for too long, you can be forgiven forthinking so without thinking.
