Cameron Says China More Aggressive Than During His Era of Ties.

UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron has stated that China has become more aggressive and assertive in recent years, citing its treatment of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang province and its crackdown on free speech in Hong Kong. Despite this, Cameron believes it is important to continue engaging with China on issues such as climate change and artificial intelligence due to its significant global influence. Relations between the UK and China have strained, with recent incidents of alleged espionage and Cameron's remarks highlight the deterioration in bilateral ties since he previously hailed a "golden era" in the relationship. Cameron also defended his business links to China during his time out of office, stating that he supported a Beijing-funded development in Sri Lanka. [Extracted from the article]
