China makes no secret of its geostrategic ambitions.

Beijing has shown itself willing to employ any number of coercive tools to secure China ’s place at the centre of what it sees as a newly emerging international order.

From the brutal repression of pro-democracy protestors in Hong Kong to the attempted economic strangulation of Lithuania after a “ Taiwan Representative Office ” was opened in Vilnius .

Successive governments have badly misunderstood modern China .

The conference in Taipei cemented my view that we need to urgently establish a cross-party commission, bringing together experts and politicians from both parliaments to consider our relationship with China .

Cultural engagement and trade benefits us as much as it does China , while common challenges like climate change and AI will only be solved through collaboration.
