 The Indian man being eyed for the PM’s position has a strong selling proposition- a strong stance on China from UK. But there is a controversy brewing over this as well. Truss however seems to have gotten the majority. Skin is the winning bet along with her solid thinking and purpose to bring well needed transformation.

Opinion polls have already given their verdict- putting her well ahead in the crucial hunt for votes from the 200,000 grassroots Tory members. Results are to be declared by September 06.

Sunak seems to be trying hard to make an impression. China is the new bet for that. He promises to take a strong stand if elected against Beijing and Kremlin both. Blame it on Liz Truss attack on Sunak’s weak stance over the powerful nations of the world.

Johnson has held a soft stance throughout for China- that is something Sunak would want to encash on. In his defense, he has said, that he intends to close of all 30 Confucius Institutes in Britain, preventing the soft-power spread of Chinese influence through culture and language programmes.

So "kick the CCP (Chinese Com
munist Party) out of our universities" in on the list. He intends to do this by forcing higher education establishments to disclose foreign funding of more than Euro 50,000 (USD 60,000) and reviewing research partnerships.

Sunak will also engage the Britain's domestic spy agency MI5 to help combat Chinese espionage, and he would look to build "NATO-style" international co-operation to tackle Chinese threats in cyberspace. The lawmaker also said that he would study the case for banning Chinese acquisitions of key British assets, including strategically sensitive tech firms.

Sunak claimed that China was "stealing" country's technology and "infiltrating" its universities at home, "propping up" Vladimir Putin abroad by buying Russian oil, as well as attempting to bully neighbours including Taiwan.
