Hostile rhetoric has ratcheted up in recent days between the U.K. and Beijing over its new national security law for Hong Kong.

FILE - In this Sunday, Jan. 19, 2020 file photo, participants wave British and U.S. flags during a rally demanding electoral democracy and call for boycott of the Chinese Communist Party and all businesses seen to support it in Hong Kong. LONDON -- Only five years ago, then-British Prime Minister David Cameron was celebrating a "golden era" in U.K.-China relations, bonding with President Xi Jinping over a pint of beer at the pub and signing off on trade deals worth billions.

Duncan Smith has lobbied other Tory lawmakers to cut Huawei out from Britain's superfast 5G network. Not only that: He says all existing Huawei technology in the U.K. telecoms infrastructure also needs to be eliminated as soon as possible. "We've definitely been pushed into the geopolitical competition," Vice-President Victor Zhang said Wednesday. U.S. accusations about security risks are all politically motivated, he said.

"There was a high degree of complacency" back in the 2000s, he said. "There was always less to the `golden era' than met the eye."

China might take more people hostage. They have 2 Canadians on bogus charges because Canada picked up Huawei Hanna. 🤬 Please give her to Trump and get the men home.🇨🇦

“China is becoming a very unreliable and dangerous business partner“. About time these political and business executives fools wake up. Life and freedom is cheap in China under the CPP (Chinese Communist Party).

China needs to be careful. She can't survive as a trading nation with only N. Korea and China, plus a few small authoritarian states, as trading partners. To do so would hammer China's economy. She NEEDS Europe and America. Without them she's in big trouble.

Legal expert says threat of Hong Kong’s new security law is overblownThe imposition of the law has generated widespread fear in Hong Kong. Libraries and schools have stripped books from their shelves written by pro-democracy activists You'll say anything to cover for the CCP. China violated the terms of their own treaty. Nothing is overblown compared to that. 🤯 Seems the argument is essentially the law won't really change anything. If that's true why pass the law?
