U.K. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said it could no longer be “business as usual” with China when the coronavirus pandemic is over, the latest sign of hardening attitudes toward Beijing as the crisis drags on. “ There absolutely needs to be a very, very deep dive after the event and review of the lessons, including of the outbreak of the virus,” Raab said at a press conference in London on Thursday. “I don’t think we can flinch from that at all.”
Raab, who is standing in for Boris Johnson as the prime minister recovers from Covid-19, said the U.K. has seen good cooperation from China, both in terms of the repatriation of British nationals from Wuhan and in terms of medical supplies during the pandemic. But he said there were “hard questions” to be answered about how it started.
“There’s no doubt we can’t have business as usual after this crisis,” Raab said. “We’ll have to ask the hard questions about how it came about and how it could have been stopped earlier.”
Just as in the U.S. Republican Party, a growing number of senior members of Johnson’s ruling Conservatives have called for a reset of relations with China because of its handling of the pandemic.
William Hague, a former Tory leader and foreign secretary who now sits in the House of Lords, said Wednesday the U.K. cannot be dependent on China as it has demonstrated it does not “play by our rules.”
‘Costing Lives’The U.K. Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee has warned that an orchestrated disinformation campaign by China is “costing British lives” in the fight against coronavirus. In the report, lawmakers said China sought to “obfuscate” what was really happening when the outbreak began, when it should have played a key role in collecting data on its spread.
China has said there is no evidence the outbreak started there. The Chinese embassy in London said “there has been no scientific or medical conclusion” about the origin of Covid-19 and that tracing work is still ongoing.
“The World Health Organization has made repeated statements that what the world is experiencing now is a global phenomenon, the source is undetermined, the focus should be on containment and any stigmatizing language referring to certain places must be avoided,” the embassy said in a statement on Monday.
Speaking at the daily press conference in Downing Street to discuss the government’s response to the pandemic, Raab said “the one thing the coronavirus has taught us is the value, and the importance, of international cooperation.”

这次瘟疫之后，中英关系会重置，不复从前
lol，病毒过后欧盟能撑几天还是个问题
英国人除了问中国人困难问题，也给自己问几个困难问题吧，对啊，英国再欧洲大陆之才爆发，欧洲大陆在中国之后才爆发，你们为什么都没能更早地阻止疫情在你们本土爆发？
这个答案其实藏在你们的心里，正是当中国爆发疫情时你们内心最真实的心态导致了今天的结果—你们当时在幸灾乐祸！就是这个心态彻底决定了今天的局面。
流氓到家了。自己玩火烧了房子，还说没有没有火，就是小火苗，你看我们啥都没烧坏。累及左邻右舍之后就说，这是你们自己傻相信我说的话不叫救护车，还把水都给我用不自己留着，你们明明那么晚才烧起来，难度不是你们自己的责任吗？流氓嘴脸自己high吧，别人不跟你玩了，你接着自high啊。
这次不光是祸害墙内，全世界都被祸害了。没有那个管理能力，就不要去搞这种高危的生化武器
就算是邻居的房子因为袖手旁观烧了，也不能埋没这把火是你点的呀，问题两样看，英美国内追责和国外追责都会有。
引用错了，本来想引用之前那一段
没错，就这么两年了，挺过来，活下去看它倒。。。。
并且避免以后再次发生。
