Chinese Premier Li Qiang has extended his congratulations to Keir Starmer on his election as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. This gesture marks the first public acknowledgment from a senior Chinese leader following the British general election. Premier Li expressed China's willingness to work with the new UK government to consolidate mutual political trust and strengthen bilateral relations. The congratulatory message comes amidst a backdrop of previously icy diplomatic relations between China and the UK, hinting at a potential thaw and a desire for improved cooperation between the two nations.
Nice gesture, but let's hope our new PM remembers to prioritize UK jobs and industries over making deals with China.

Looks like the elites are cozying up again, hoping Starmer doesn’t forget the regular folks back home while he's busy making friends with China.

It's encouraging to see China reaching out to congratulate Keir Starmer on his new role as UK Prime Minister; it shows a willingness to look past old tensions and work towards a more cooperative future. This could be a great opportunity for both countries to address global challenges together, fostering mutual respect and understanding in their relations.

I hope Starmer doesn't compromise on Britain's sovereignty or freedom in pursuit of cozying up to China.
