"China’s response to Britain’s new stance has so far been limited to rhetoric. cgtn said Ofcom had been “manipulated by extreme right-wing organisations and anti-China forces”; the Hong Kong visa offer was denounced as unwanted colonial meddling. But things may change, and British companies may suffer high-profile sanctions similar to those imposed by China on Australia, reckons Charles Parton, a former British diplomat and senior associate fellow of the Royal United Services Institute. AstraZeneca, Jaguar Land Rover and hsbc have been floated as possible targets in the Chinese press. And after cgtn’s closure, life may get trickier for bbc journalists in China. Mr Parton says China will bide its time: “I think we’re going to get the Australia treatment, but they serve their revenge a lot colder than you think.” "

"President Xi looms large over the camps. His image and slogans adorn the walls; he is a focus of the programme of "re-education". Xi is the overall architect of the policy against the Uighurs, said Charles Parton, a former British diplomat in China and now senior associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute.
"It is very centralised and it goes to the very top," Parton said. "There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that this is Xi Jinping's policy." "

"Taking a "harsh retaliatory stance" could close doors to future investments elsewhere in Europe, said Veerle Nouwens, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, a British defense and security think tank. "Irrespective of Chinese grandstanding, we can't forget that China is also still recovering economically from the pandemic. It may therefore feel that the costs of reacting very strongly against the UK may outweigh the benefits of doing so," Nouwens added."

"The reunification remains a priority for Beijing, said Veerle Nouwens, a research fellow in the Asia-Pacific region at the Royal United Services Institute, a defense think tank. "China has continued to exercise at sea and in the air in the South China Sea and around Taiwan," Nouwens said. "This is not particularly new but takes place in a wider context of increasing Chinese assertiveness on its borders and in the surrounding region.""
