Britain’s private voice recordings were revealed as “partners and rivals”.


[observer web Roundup] at the beginning of this month, British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson’s recordings of a conversation at a dinner party were leaked out in Boris. When asked how to look at China, Johnson said that China is not only a partner but also a competitor.

According to Australian media reported on June 30th, Johnson attended a private dinner in London earlier this month. During the dinner, he talked about the true view of the world situation. Unexpectedly, the foreign media got his recordings of the conversation at the dinner party.

When Johnson was asked by one of the 20 guests, “China is a partner or a threat,” he said, “China is a competitor, but the economic growth and stunning development of the competitor is beneficial to the UK.”

“In diplomatic terms, we should establish a good relationship with China and regard China as our friend and partner, but at the same time, we must admit that China is our commercial competitor. They may lose faith in us. ” Johnson said.

He also said that China’s technology companies will replace the Silicon Valley giants of the United States as the strongest in the world. “Americans have dominated technology for decades. Microsoft, Google, apple… We’ve got used to them all the time. But the Chinese are catching up. They have 5G technology. They have opened up a new road. Everyone will use their electronic devices through China’s system instead of the US system. We should beware of this. “

Unlike his commercial description of China as an “opponent”, Johnson was once described by foreign media as a “Chinese powder”.
