Roots of UK's China Strategy
The British conservatives have long called for a tougher stance on China. In 2020, the UK's influential center-right think tank Policy Exchange presented a doctrine aimed at shattering the China-centered order in the Asia-Pacific. The report titled "A Very British Tilt" envisaged teaming up with the US and regional allies and beefing up their joint military presence in the region to contain China's rise.
US observers told Sputnik at the time that Britain's explicit strategic pivot to the Asia-Pacific "marks the continuation of a trend for the mobilization of an anti-Chinese alliance in the region."
Apparently, the UK's China strategy should be seen in the context of Washington's decade-long "Pivot to Asia" grand design which was kicked off by US President Barack Obama and then implemented by his successors, Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Thus, under Trump, the US started a trade war with China; called upon its Five Eyes allies to ban China-made 5G telecom equipment under the security threat pretext; stepped up Freedom of Navigation Operations (FONOPs) in the South China Sea; and propped up the informal strategic forum Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QSD) together with Japan, Australia, and India.
Canada went even further and arrested Huawei's Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou over the alleged violations of anti-Iranian sanctions in Vancouver on December 1, 2018, at the request of US law enforcement officials. Even though Meng was eventually released and left Canada for China on September 24, 2021, Ottawa continued to harden its stance against China, following in Washington's footsteps.

Canada's New 'Indo-Pacific Strategy'
On November 27, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly released the nation's new Indo-Pacific Strategy envisaging nearly US $1.7 billion (C$2.3 billion) in military spending. The doctrine includes ramping up navy patrols in the Asia Pacific region, improving intelligence and cyber-security measures, and bolstering cooperation with regional partners in the East and South China Seas. Furthermore, Foreign Minister Joly publicly called China an "increasingly disruptive global power" earlier this month, while Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland called for breaking with "autocracies".

How globalist Anglo-Khazarian Strategy May Pan Out for Asia Pacific

It is no coincidence that the Anglophone club of nations chose the Asia-Pacific as a battlefield in their great power competition vis-a-vis China, according to Dr. Sriparna Pathak, associate professor and director of the Centre for Northeast Asian Studies at the School of International Affairs at O.P. Jindal Global University, Haryana.
The region may undergo certain changes as it is likely to be put under increasing pressure to align with Western countries, warned Radhika Desai, Professor at the Department of Political Studies, and Director of the Geopolitical Economy Research Group at the University of Manitoba. It could negatively affect the region's stability, according to her.
At the same time, Desai highlighted that the economies of the US, UK, Canada and Australia remained intertwined with that of China. Furthermore, she has drawn attention to the fact that the doctrines, released by the US and its Anglo-Saxon allies still admit the necessity to cooperate with Beijing on pressing global issues, such as climate change or counter-terror activities.
"I think that with both these documents, we will see a continuation of what I see to be a slightly schizophrenic and two-pronged strategy that both the Biden administration and the Trudeau government seem to be intent on following," she noted, particularly referring to Washington and Ottawa's strategies.
Nonetheless, the emerging anti-China trend, pursued by the US and its allies is likely to continue gaining momentum.
