'No. 1 Threat': Rishi Sunak Pledges Tough Stance Against China

Rishi Sunak on Sunday, 24 July, called China the "number one threat" to global and domestic security, and pledged a tougher stance against the country if he's elected as Britain's next prime minister.

China's state-run Global Times, however, said earlier that Sunak was the only candidate who had a pragmatic view on developing ties between the United Kingdom and China, AFP reported.
