The Hong Kong Territory was handed over to the Chinese government in 1997. With it went the entire Government Flying Service, lock stock and barrel. GFS was a renamed/civilianised Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force. The existing contracts of many expatriate workers were carried over. No one complained back then.
Also, many “U.K.” core businesses have direct connections with China. For example, “Bio Products Laboratory”, based at Elstree. It used to be part of the NHS but was sold to China!
If any of us looked at the origins of our household goods, cutting China out of our lives would be difficult to achieve.
