I urged the Government to decrease UK dependency on the CCP and invest in resilience - making the reduction of the £40 billion trade deficit with China and the continuing purchase of cheap goods made by Uyghur slave labour a priority.

MP and Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) member Sarah Champion raises an Urgent Question on the links between UK supermarket supply chains and Uyghur forced labour. I raised the risks of UK supply chains across multiple sectors, including the solar sector, being tainted by Uyghur and Tibetan forced labour. The US and the EU has enacted important legislation, unfortunately the UK once again is a global outlier for slave-made goods. I’m calling for the UK government to tighten up legislation by implementing a checking system for all our supply chains using companies like Oritain who apply forensic science and data to verify the origin of products and raw materials. We need legislation in place to make it a criminal offence to have anything to do with slave labour. Department for Business and Trade

The UK government states Russian, North Korea and Iran are threats to the UK, but that China is simply a 'challenge'. China is NOT a challenge it is an ever present threat, the largest threat we face right now that destabilises the world order. China undermines the world trade system by selling cheap goods made with slave labour, it threatens Taiwan on a daily basis and intimidates Hong Kongers who have fled China to the UK. Giving the Chinese a mega-embassy in London on top of all our - including security - communications lines is absolute madness. China wants to bring in over 200 spies to live on the proposed complex to wreak havoc with all of those who have fled China to the UK. If it goes ahead it will be a terrible, terrible decision... Keir Starmer Yvette Cooper UK Prime Minister

In June 1996, then-Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi addressed the U.S. House of Representatives, expressing concerns about the trade imbalance between the United States and China. She highlighted that the U.S. imposed an average tariff of 2% on Chinese goods, whereas China levied an average tariff of 35% on U.S. products, questioning the fairness of this disparity. Pelosi emphasized that the growing trade deficit, which had increased from $3.5 billion in 1989 to approximately $34 billion by 1996, was detrimental to American workers and labeled U.S.-China trade as a “job loser.” She urged her colleagues to reconsider the status quo and advocate for more balanced trade relations.

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: Union Minister Piyush Goyal says, "... There is no belligerence from me... I laid down the fact very calmly that we don't find fair pricing (from China)..., and in the 10 years of the UPA government, that trade deficit sore by 25%... When Atal Bihari Vajpayee laid down the office in 2004, the India-China trade deficit was at a certain level, and in the 10 years of the UPA government, that trade deficit sore by 25%... We wonder what that MoU was, signed by Rahul Gandhi in China with the Communist Party of China, after which tariffs were brought down very significantly on products which China massively dumped into India, which killed many of our local manufacturing ecosystem and made us dependent on China. The country is still suffering from those 10 years of mismanagement of the economy..."

Left: Keir Starmer, "Growth.. Wealth creation.. Is the number one priority of this Labour government.. That's why we've set up the National Wealth Fund" Right: Bloomberg identifies the elephant in the room.. Brexit is costing the UK £100 billion a year in lost trade which is approx £40 billion in tax receipts The only way to supercharge growth in the UK is to rejoin the EU Single Market - how many billions will the UK miss out on until Labour come round and join the EU Single Market?

4/ Inflation will skyrocket. Global trade and cheap manufacturing lead to 40% reduction in prices of durable goods despite the fact that the USD lost 75% of its value since the World War II. This won't happen anymore. Costs will increase and goods will become more expensive.

The Chinese Communist Party is causing tremendous harm to the UK. Keir Starmer travelled to China, and Yvette Cooper met with the Chinese Foreign Minister. Yet Jimmy Lai is still in prison, and bounties are on the heads of Hongkongers living in the UK. Labour are continuing to kowtow to China.

While the Foreign Secretary was enjoying the hospitality of the Chinese Communist Party on her trip to China, Chinese slave labour was being used to supply solar panels across the UK. The UK has a proud record of promoting human rights, how can this shameful Labour Government turn a blind eye to Chinese slave labour?

HASSETT: "By the calendar year, we’re going to see a deficit reduction of about $600 billion. Multiply that by 10 and let there be a little growth, you’re looking at $7 or $8 trillion in deficit reduction over the decade because of the policies we’ve adopted this year."

In the US, consumption, investment, and government spending exceed GDP. That gap is filled by a TRADE DEFICIT. The US isn’t being ripped off by foreigners— the trade deficit is MADE IN THE USA. It's equal to the gap between (C+I+G) & GDP.

Left: Rachel Reeves reepatedly said that the Labour will not take us back into the EU, the Single Market or even a Customs Union and that Labour will make Brexit work Right: Labour can't make Brexit work because any version of Brexit causes long term damage to the UK economy Since the UK left the EU: The UK has lost £200 billion in taxes from trade The EU has lost €250 billion in taxes from trade How many public services would £200 billion pay for? The ONLY one really celebrating this breakup is Putin, who has succeeded in making the UK and Europe poorer and weaker 80% of immigrants to the UK work. It's not immigrants making the UK poorer. It's Brexit
