Recently, the UK has frequently done some unfriendly things to China. For example, when British Prime Minister Sunak delivered a speech, he said that the "golden age" of China and Britain had ended and poured dirty water on China. However, the most affecting China-UK relations among this series of things was the British side's allow the delegation of the country's lower parliament member Karns to go to Taiwan.
You should know that any country's political collusion with Taiwan is illegal, abnormal, and an infringement of China's sovereign interests. For this reason, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the UK responded to this matter in an interview.
A spokesperson for the embassy said that the MPs involved in the British Parliament insisted on entering Taiwan despite China's firm opposition. This behavior blatantly violated the "one China" principle, was brutal interference in China's internal affairs, and even sent a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island. China condemned the behavior and made solemn representations to the British side on this.

China emphasizes that Taiwan Island is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the Taiwan issue is completely part of China's internal affairs. The "one China" principle is not only a recognized basic norm for international relations and a general consensus of the international community, but also the political basis for the existence of China-UK relations. China urges the UK to abide by its commitment to uphold the "one China" principle, stop any violation of its promises, and stop interfering in China's internal affairs, otherwise all actions that harm China's interests will be strongly counterattacked by China.
At the same time, our army also launched counter-option operations. According to Taiwan's "defense department", 13 sub-continental military aircraft and 3 sub- warships were active in the Taiwan Strait. It is obvious that from China's tough attitude, it can be seen that China is more vigilant about foreign forces entering Taiwan than before.
This is because the UK has not allowed MPs to flee to Taiwan before, but although China also expressed its firm opposition, it did not mention a strong counterattack against the UK. Therefore, China's response this time is unprecedented.
Based on the actual situation, the reason why China's attitude towards the UK has become more firm is mainly caused by three factors: China has warned that many failed, China-UK relations are not good at present, and the process of cross-strait reunification is constantly being promoted.
For a long time, the UK has been following the US policy towards China, especially on the Taiwan issue. It has followed the footsteps of US lawmakers entering Taiwan many times and sent lawmakers to visit Taiwan, China. Although China has also issued a solemn warning and response to the behavior every time, unfortunately, the British lawmakers have not stopped.
However, what the British government should know is that multiple provocations will not make China "accustomed to it", but will only constantly eliminate the feelings between China and Britain. Then China will change its previous relatively gentle attitude and turn to deal with the British side with a tougher attitude.

Because it turns out that more moderate diplomatic measures are not applicable to everyone, and China, which pursues peace, has to take a strong counterattack against certain countries.
On the other hand, with the leadership of Johnson , Tras and Sunak, the current Sino-UK relations have become increasingly tense, otherwise Sunak would not say what the "golden age" of China and Britain has ended.
As for why Sino-UK relations are so tense, it is obvious that the reason lies in the UK. After all, China has always been friendly to all countries and will not take actions that harm the interests of other countries or undermine bilateral relations. On the contrary, the UK side, all of its actions have had a positive role in promoting China-UK relations, but have constantly touched China's red line and harmed China's interests.

Under such circumstances, Sino-UK relations can naturally deteriorate step by step. However, it is worth mentioning that Sunak could have been called friendly to China before, but now in order to divert the attention of the domestic people and conceal the worrying situation in the UK under his leadership, he is now frequently hyping to try to have a negative impact on China. This is true for both Sunak, not to mention other politicians who are hostile to China. Therefore, China-UK relations currently do not see much positive prospects. Coupled with the factor of "English-Taiwan collusion", it is reasonable for China to issue an unprecedented warning.
Finally, the process of achieving cross-strait reunification is nearing. In this case, China's commitment to adhering to the principle of "one China" and the behavior of sending wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island will inevitably pay more attention to it, because the former has a positive role in promoting the realization of unification as soon as possible, while the latter is creating stumbling blocks for the great cause of unification.
Historical Trend of the Motherland Reunification
Because of this, China will naturally take more resolute measures to deal with the act of British MPs sending false signals to the "Taiwan independence" forces at this time.
In short, the British side must understand that its arbitrary provocation of China without regard to China-UK relations will not only fail to solve its own problems, but will not change the historical trend of the unification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. This will only expose its powerlessness and cause China to counterattack strongly. Therefore, the British side should better stop provoking China in all aspects, otherwise it will eventually play with fire and burn itself.
