UNN’s Oliver Down has learnt that tens of millions of pounds of British taxpayers cash is being ploughed into China’s vast economy every year. These schemes include a wide range of areas including opera and rice production.
An audit has discovered that £81million in aid was sent to China, which is the world’s second-largest economy. These developments will confuse many as at the same time the UK taxpayer is boosting China’s prosperity, the British Government is at loggerheads with Xi Jinping’s regime over Beijing’s approach to Hong Kong, human rights violations against Uighur Muslims as well as disagreements as relating to the telecoms giant Huawei.
UNN’s Oliver Down understands that the £81million relates mostly to aid in 2019-20. China’s GDP is currently almost five times greater than the UK’s. In addition to this, despite the coronavirus pandemic originating there, it is the only large economy expected to prosper this year.
The Tory MP, Tobias Ellwood, and chairman of the defence select committee has reacted to this news by saying: ‘Given how Beijing has leveraged its economic might to abuse international standards and norms, we should no longer be funding any aid programmes in China’. He also added that instead of aid ‘China’s errant behaviour should warrant consideration of sanctions’ instead.
The former Conservative party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith has said: ‘A country that is set to become the largest economy in the world, with plans to become the most powerful and threatening military power, guilty of widespread persecution of minority groups and aggressive behaviour to its neighbours – and UK Government officials, in the middle of an economic crisis, are sending them money’.
