Editorialised headline: Man who anticipates making obscene piles of cash through deals with China sez we should do deals with China.
How is this stupid? If trump wins again he will fuck UK over at a whim. They need new friends, we all do.

China would be just as unreliable an ally as Trumpian America.
The UK should be rebuilding relations with the EU, and maybe strengthening them with CANZUK, not cozying up to the Xi regime.

We can’t be friends with both America and china because of Taiwan. Right now we’re with America, the entire intelligence service is wrapped up together with five eyes and military cooperation through NATO.
Costing up to China means giving all that up, so what’s the point?

As far as I’m aware Trump has been the only pro-UK U.S. president in recent history. Both Biden and Obama have brushed off the UK.

He’s pro Trump and his administration was pro division so supporting a similar nationalistic movement as leaving the UK was easy, no the UK is struggling to keep the lights on he can ride the ass he meets

Man who pulled the catapult to exit the EU says the UK needs friends.
FTFY. Also, given this shift, what's people's opinions of Cameron's actual allegiances?
