As others have pointed out, Liz Truss has no qualms about calling Saudi Arabia an important ally[1]. Statements against China are a way to pander to the Tory base.
While im no fan of Saudi Arabia, I wouldn’t go calling this pandering. China has long considered the West an enemy, and has been an abusive trading partner. It’s high time the UK stands up for itself.
this is projection - the hostility is pretty much one way from West to East. You can even see when the mood changed, post GFC, when China stopped buying US T-bills
