Recent high-level interactions between Western countries and China have drawn international attention. BBC journalist Laura Bicker noted that China does not seek ideological alignment or political blocs, and highlighted the safety and convenience of life in the country. Channel 4 also reported on China's rapid progress in green technology, suggesting that the UK could learn a lot from Chinese innovation. Meng Bingchun, a professor at the London School of Economics, emphasized in an interview that the UK should move away from blindly following U.S. policy, consider its own national interests, and adopt a "principled yet pragmatic" approach toward China.
