Regurgitating Washington's line bad for UK

UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said she will reopen the integrated review of security, defense, development and foreign policy, if she becomes the next prime minister of the country.

But the objectivity of that review is open to question as she vowed at the same time to classify China as a "threat" to national security if she does defeat her rival for the job. In that event, China will be elevated to a similar status as Russia, which the review defines as an "acute threat".

Global Britain in a Competitive Age as the review is titled has a very distorted view of the world. One that harkens back to the days of its Great Game with Russia and its gunboat diplomacy toward China.
