Queen Elizabeth's death is not good news for British-Chinese relations. King Charles is a massive Sinophobe, and so is Liz Truss. He refused to meet Xi when he last met with the royal family, he is a friend of Dalai Lama, during the handover he called the Chinese leadership “appalling old waxworks”. China should prepare for the worst when it comes to the UK.

It doesn't matter, the royal family is irrelevant anyways in the world of geopolitics.

Protector of the Realm
Lover of the Nuclear Button
Foreign Secretary of Reduced Graphicacy
Thatcher Cosplayer

What has she actually done to earn many of those names?

My list would be:

The Mad Queen
The Unhinged
The Breaker of the Realm
Protector of the Corporate Bottom Line

Short may she reign, but during that reign, I’m sure she will add many well earn names to her list of titles and accomplishments as the bodies of the victims of her polices piles high.

A brutally realistic take on the realities of chinese manufacturing.

On the other hand, there has been a lack of substantive evidence offered to support the above argument. Although anecdotes abound about certain companies relocating production out of China, the data suggests that such moves are not at the scale necessary to reverse the upward momentum of the country's manufacturing base, nor its international competitiveness.

In other words, anecdotes are only relevant when they are supported by and explain macroeconomic trends. And China's macroeconomic trends are clearly favorable although obviously not without some short-term challenges.

I’m sorry but the death of a genocidal ghoul that is responsible for the death of millions of innocent human beings is a day of joyous celebrations.

Sorry that's not fair to the Queen who had no political power in UK during her reign. Despise generations of British politicians and elites for the colonial atrocities before her reign (and perhaps during as well). No, I'm not a fan of her, nor I hate her. As far as I know she's a decent human being who did her job well. All the vile remarks and responses are just unclassy and unjustified.

A pathetic excuse. She's head of state. Do you think Hirohito was also a 'decent human being who did his job well'?

tbh britain was not committing its worst atrocities while she was leader. Still doesn't absolve her nation for being involved in countless illegal invasions and past genocides, for which the victims received no compensation.

That the USSR and China didn't take Hirohito into their own hands to break the 1000 spell of imperial backwardness Japan stumbled into is one of the biggest mistakes of WW2. He didn't need to be executed, just dethroned and prosecuted like Puyi.

You need to learn the difference between the British royal in the 50s and the Japanese royal in the 30s, and their respective political power in their countries, then come back to discuss.

Besides, by the 50s the British empire was already in great decline and had started the withdrawal from many colonies, sure by necessity and not by choice or good will. Queen Elizabeth didn't have blood on her hands if that's what you try to insinuate.
