According to the “Daily Mail” report, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said, “Our trade with China is very important,” but trade must be “reliable” and avoid “strategic dependence.”
Truss also aimed at those “sounds of decline” who sang Britain, and she believes that “the UK has a bright future.”
In recent years, the relationship between the United Kingdom and China has been tense because of heated debates over human rights violations and the treatment of Hong Kong.
In mid-September, Truss, who succeeded Dominic Raab as Minister of Foreign Affairs, took a firm stand on ties with Beijing on the afternoon of the 3rd.
She said at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester: “We will also take a strong attitude towards those who do not agree with our values and do not follow the rules. Our trade with China is important, but we must ensure that this is a reliable trade. , To avoid strategic dependence, and does not involve infringement of intellectual property rights or forced technology transfer. When countries comply with their international obligations, the world will be safer and more prosperous.”

After Labor Party members voted to condemn the “AUKUS” defense agreement at the annual meeting in Brighton last week, the Foreign Secretary also pointed his finger at the Labor Party.
The agreement was welcomed by Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer and other shadow cabinet members, but the party’s grassroots members voted against it by an overwhelming advantage, claiming that it undermines world peace.
Truss said that voting against the agreement that will provide Australia with its first ever nuclear-powered submarine fleet shows how “out of touch” the Labor Party is.
She added: “Corbyn may no longer be a leader, but the same (ultra-left) spirit lives in the Labour Party.” Corbyn is a former Labour Party leader and is known for his ultra-left thinking.
