Change of approach
What I do think is that the Western approach to China is evolving.
Whilst much maligned and often with reason, former US President Trump led a charge on this and I think appropriately.
Now we are questioning our industrial strategy and commercial approaches in ways that we didn’t previously, and apparently also the types of engagements and information exchanges being discussed here.
Not before time and what was everybody thinking?
For my own part I think it’s highly appropriate to close the barn door now even if only to prevent further horses from bolting.
That said what’s already done is done. In those cases, crying and spilt milk springs to mind.
What we have to do now is stop doing it any more and deal with the consequences.
