Britain’s top intelligence officials are reportedly signaling that it is time for the U.K. to rethink its relationship with China after the communist nation lied and tried to cover up the coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China.

“They reckon China will become more assertive in defending its one-party model as having successfully tackled the pandemic and that Boris Johnson and other ministers will have to take a ‘realistic view’ and consider how the UK responds,” The Guardian reported. “Issues being aired are whether the UK wants to restrict takeovers of key companies in high-tech areas such as digital communications and artificial intelligence, and whether it should reduce Chinese students’ access to research at universities and elsewhere.”
