Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned on Monday that China posed "national security threats" to Britain, but defended his government's decision to step up engagement with the country, saying closer business ties were in the national interest. Starmer's Labour government has made improved relations with China one of its foreign policy priorities, but relations between the two countries have been strained by British accusations of spying by Beijing.
