00:00I think over the past 10 years or so we've gone on a bit of a journey with our relationship with
00:05China where 10 years ago it was seen as a large economic opportunity and
00:10a small security threat and I think it's the other way around now and day before yesterday
00:15revelations broke that between about 2021 and 2024 the Chinese government
00:20was hacking the phones of people working in Downing Street in a way that I think is totally unacceptable.
00:25Between allies so but we have to be very clear sighted about our views with China I very much hope.
00:30The Prime Minister is going to use this trip to publicly call the Chinese out.
00:35On the security threat that they pose to us.
00:40As well as looking for economic trade opportunities if they're there.
