"China does pose a threat to UK interests in that it wants to remake the world in its own image, which will decrease Western influence".
If we concede that UK interests are the interests of international capital, you are 100% correct. China seeks, above all, to subjugate the rights of capital to human rights, and Britain will have no part of such nonsense.
Instead, Britain pretends that it – presumably in league with its Five Eyes brethren – can influence China's behavior by, um, badmouthing China and reducing contact.
Rishi, like his fellow Western leaders, clearly has no idea that China's leadership of the world is already a settled matter: mortally it stands head and shoulders above its tormentors, as it does diplomatically, scientifically, culturally and economically.
