Recent reports from the Telegraph - that a Chinese wind turbine maker previously barred from the UK under national security pretext is seeking to overturn the decision, and that components in Royal Navy drones allegedly transmitted data to China - represent another episode in which some British media and some politicians have amplified the "China threat" narrative. Chinese experts said some British institutions are projecting their own practices onto China and making unsubstantiated claims about the security risks of Chinese equipment, while political pressures, defense priorities and efforts to preserve Britain's strategic relevance are also shaping the debate. They warn that sustained negative rhetoric could gradually erode mutual trust and complicate UK-China relations.
In March, the Labour banned the Chinese wind turbine maker Ming Yang over so-called "national security concerns," thwarting the company's plans to build a factory in the Scottish Highlands. The company is now attempting to persuade the British government to review that position after Andy Burnham's arrival in No 10 and the appointment of Miatta Fahnbulleh as the new Energy Secretary, according to the Telegraph.
The Telegraph report also cited Aman Wang, Ming Yang's UK head, as saying that "the company's proposed factory could create 1,500 direct jobs, with up to 8,000 more in the supply chain." He added: "We are committed to supporting the growth in every postcode that this government wants to see, to re-industrialisation and to lowering energy bills."
The report claimed the wording appeared to be a direct appeal to Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who pledged to deliver "growth in every postcode" in his first major policy speech after taking office. The report also claimed that the company's potential entry into the UK market triggered "alarm bells", with officials from the Ministry of Defense reportedly fretting that it "would create opportunities for spying."
When asked to comment on UK's moves to block plans by Ming Yang Smart Energy to build a wind turbine factory in Scotland on national security grounds, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said during a press conference on March 26 that China-UK economic, trade and green cooperation is in nature mutually beneficial. Such cooperation should not be viewed as political and security issues.
"It is hoped that the UK will provide a fair, just and non-discriminatory business and investment environment for companies of all countries, including Chinese companies," the spokesperson added.
Ming Yang had not responded to a request for comment from the Global Times as of press time on Monday.
Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Zhongshan, China, Ming Yang Smart Energy is a leading global wind turbine manufacturer and clean energy provider, according to the company's website. The Telegraph previously reported that the company had unveiled plans to build a factory in Scotland to manufacture wind turbine blades for the UK and European markets.
Ming Yang's push for eased restrictions under the new government is a legitimate commercial move. However, certain Conservative-leaning media outlets have used the case to amplify the "China threat" narrative. The case also highlights concerns that the UK has increasingly resorted to so-called national security reviews to restrict Chinese companies and supply chains, Li Guanjie, a research fellow with the Shanghai Academy of Global Governance and Area Studies under the Shanghai International Studies University, told the Global Times.
Prolonged reviews, limited disclosure and the absence of formal rulings can leave firms in regulatory limbo, increasing costs and effectively pushing them out of the market without an explicit ban, said Li.
Also on Sunday, another report from the Telegraph claimed that the cameras on the K3 Scout surveillance drones of the Royal Navy had components made in China which "were secretly transmitting information to a device in the country." The Royal Marines have been using the £12m fleet since March and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) was forced to remove all internet connectivity from the cameras after discovering the breach.
British media coverage of Chinese-made camera components carries distinct Cold War overtones, said Zhang Junshe, a Chinese military affairs expert. He noted that US and UK intelligence agencies have faced allegations of exploiting technical vulnerabilities for intelligence-gathering purposes.
Against this backdrop, Zhang said some Western governments and media are projecting their own historical practices onto China, presuming without evidence that Chinese companies or equipment pose similar risks and repeatedly portraying Chinese technology as a security threat.
Li said some British politicians and government departments may play up national security concerns to bolster the case for higher defense spending, with narrative of China-related threats offering an especially effective way to attract public attention and justify larger budgets.
He added that Burnham is likely to retain the former Starmer administration's framework of "cooperate, compete and challenge" until the next general election amid Britain's constrained national capacity, narrower global ambitions and growing diplomatic focus on Europe. However, continued hyping of China-related security risks may further fuel negative perceptions of China among the British public and business community.
。在中超前三轮比赛中，国足攻击线上四名球员状态火热，其中谢文能打入2球，韦世豪打入1球，王钰栋和张玉宁各打入3球，两人也在射手榜并列第一位。而本场比赛是杨希、徐彬国家队首秀，由于四名U23国脚的首发，国足首发平均年龄下降到26.2岁，远低于对手的29.8岁。而库拉索球员身价估值远超国足，他们阵容中15人曾代表荷兰青年队出战。球队超过70%球员效力于欧洲联赛，其中荷甲8人、英冠3人、土超2人，整体身价估值约2800万欧元，虽然最大牌的华裔球员陈达毅未能首发，但首发身价估值依然达到1290万欧元，正好是国足身价估值645万欧元的两倍。
二 | 上半场开始后国足进入状态更快，连续创造出角球机会，而库拉索险些抓住了中国队角球进攻的转换，第10分钟库拉索封堵了国足角球进攻的远射机会，随即创造出3打1的反击机会，得亏王上源在中线成功预判了对方的传球路线断下皮球。僵持阶段王钰栋和徐彬先后因为防守中的犯规吃到黄牌，上半场伤停补时阶段国足打破僵局，颜骏凌长传打到前场，张玉宁头球后蹭，韦世豪前插左脚凌空斜射远角破门，半场国足1比0领先。这是国足上半场第一次有效射门，技术统计显示国足上半场6次射门1次射正，而对手3次射门零射正。
三 | 控球率方面库拉索63%对37%遥遥领先。下半场刚开始邵佳一用拜合拉木换下上半场尾声阶段对抗中受伤的谢文能，而库拉索一口气换上包括陈达毅在内的四名球员，第47分钟韦世豪左路内切后离门30米开外大力远射被对方门将扑出，一分钟后王钰栋左路造成对方禁区内混乱，可惜拜合拉木禁区内停球失误，中国队发动二次进攻，杨希传中，王钰栋禁区内头球射门偏出。
四 | 第49分钟，徐彬滑铲对方球员，好在主裁判手下留情并未掏出第二张黄牌。第59分钟，库拉索第一次解围失误给了王钰栋左路低平球传中的机会，随后禁区中路防守球员再次解围失误把球直接给了张玉宁，张玉宁左脚推射破门将比分扩大为2比0。此后中国队连换三人，程进、黄嘉辉对位换下王上源、徐彬，胡荷韬对位换下刘洋；第77分钟，刘诚宇、蒯纪闻、林良铭对位换下张玉宁、韦世豪、王钰栋，中国队中前场更换了完全不同的首发组合，更多年轻球员在本场比赛得到了出场机会。
五 | 最终中国队2比0获胜。
