繼日本之後，英國終於也知道該減少援中這種蠢事了。
順便對那些哭么的NGO表示鄙夷: 維族兒童你們救不到，聲稱成脫貧大業的中國政府也不可能讓你們去幫其他貧困弱勢，整個中國哪還有你們甚麼事?
"中國為全球第2大經濟體，英國排第5，但英國2018年援助中國5560萬英鎊、隔年更多達6780萬英鎊；上述最新ODA規劃則占英國國內生產毛額0.5％，比過去少0.2％。拉布表示，將把一半預算花在非洲，另3分之1用於南亞和印度─太平洋地區，以促進「開放社會、加強貿易連結，並增進氣候變遷上的合作」，讓資金發揮「最大影響力」。"
"全球逾200個非營利組織，包括「救助兒童會」（Save the Children）、推展扶貧工作的「樂施會」（Oxfam）和「國際關懷協會」（Care International），視英國此舉為「對世上許多最邊緣民眾的悲劇性打擊」，呼籲英方收回成命。"
英國國會外交委員會的報告出爐:
"The report provides solutions, setting out the response required of the UK Government to stop the atrocities that the Chinese government is committing against the Uyghurs and other ethnic groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The Committee recommends a range of measures that, together, will pressure the Chinese government to end its persecution of Uyghurs."
"上下議長做出決定後，被中國制裁的議員紛紛表示肯定，下議院議員加尼（Nusrat Ghani）認為，制裁英國議員是對英國議會和民主的直接威脅。鄧肯史密斯也感謝兩位議長的快速反應，他說，方，這次國會大廈是保護言論自由和人民自由的地會晤不應該在這裡舉行，讓受中國制裁的議員容忍中國大使到國會大廈，是完全不可接受的。"
英國更清醒了:
[ Richard Moore said adapting to a world dominated by the rise of China was now the “single greatest priority” for his spy agency, also known as MI6, in his first public speech since taking over the role a year ago. ]

中文報導摘要:
"MI5發布的警示指出，以「克麗絲汀．李」（Christine Ching Kui Lee）之名遊走英國政治圈的律師李貞駒與中共統戰部秘密合作。
MI5研判，統戰部企圖藉由與具聲望地位或野心勃勃的跨黨派議員建立連結，以秘密干預英國政治；統戰部也試圖與具影響力的人物培養關係，以確保英國的政治形勢對中共有利。
調查結果顯示，李貞駒涉入對政黨、議員、爭取成為議員及謀求一官半職人士的資助行為，資金來源包括身處中國與香港的非英國籍人士。"
MI5年底報告再說一回:
"「我們看到中國共產黨越來越強硬，並在明在暗施加壓力，使其它國家屈服於它的意志」，他說，中共正試圖「重新設計（re-design）國際體系」。
麥卡勒姆指出，中共的技術和訊息盜竊行徑，不僅利用了情報人員和網絡黑客，還利用了企業高管，以及能接觸到政府和商業機密的學術研究人員。"

中國政府培養外國人脈並左右公共事務之餘順便恐嚇監控僑民:
"We set out the coordinated campaign we are seeing to re-design the international system. We outlined the scale and breadth of their information acquisition, using not only intelligence officers and cyber hackers but businesspeople and researchers to steal government and commercial information alike. We talked about how organisations can actively protect themselves - while still engaging with the world, including with China.
And we described the threat to our national and economic security, and to the UK’s political system. We see the Chinese authorities playing the long game in cultivating contacts to manipulate opinion in China’s favour - seeking to co-opt and influence not just prominent Parliamentarians from across the political landscape, but people much earlier in their careers in public life, gradually building a debt of obligation.
Since then, we’ve seen yet more concerning activity. The Chinese authorities use all the means at their disposal to monitor - and where they deem necessary intimidate - the Chinese diaspora. This takes place all over the world, from coercing and forcibly repatriating Chinese nationals to harassment and assault."
這篇仔細報導了三個疑似受中國統戰部影響的組織在米國何處及其運作:
"The Nebraska center, along with those in Houston and San Francisco, also share another key link with branches such as that in Manhattan: the United Front Work Department (UFWD), a Chinese government agency that controls overseas ethnic and religious affairs.
The UFWD has either set up these overseas centers, or has ‘co opted’ pre-existing community associations to do its bidding."
英國藉由非營利組織的調查報告揭露中國如何利用僑務工作滲透進入英國學界的科技領域：
“2018年8月，她赴中出席中華全國歸國華僑聯合會（中國僑聯）代表大會。中國僑聯是統戰組織「中國人民政治協商會議」一員。也是在2018年，國務院僑務辦公室於3月被併入中共中央統戰部，由統戰部集中領導僑務工作。
在此之前，2018年2月，黃萍在倫敦出席一場會議，由時任國務院僑務辦公室副主任譚天星說明「新時代」僑務優先工作。譚天星隨後獲任命為統戰部副部長。
2016至2018年，英國浙江聯誼會與中國共產黨浙江省委員會和浙江省政府數次在倫敦帝國學院（Imperial College London）舉辦高階人才交流博覽會，目標為吸引創新研究和相關產業人才赴浙江發展。活動宣傳中國的「千人計畫」，以及與軍事或軍民兩用科技有關的中資企業。
黃萍2018年起擔任倫敦帝國學院資料科學研究所（Data Science Institute, DSI）的對中合作執行經理，校方官網曾在2020年提到她是DSI所有對中合作案的專案經理。
倫敦帝國學院為英國先進科技研究重鎮，多年來也是中方經營重點。DSI是該校7大「全球挑戰研究所」（Global Challenge Institutes）之一。”
遊說遊到讓情治機關出面警告與政府打算法案約束也夠厲害的 :
[ MI5 is understood to have been monitoring Lee for some time, concerned that she was targeting politicians from all political parties. The decision to issue an alert was made inside the agency, sources added, based on the tools at their disposal and without external political direction. ]
[ The government is planning to bring in a new espionage legislation to update the Official Secrets Acts. Dr Alan Mendoza, the executive director of the Henry Jackson Society, said the Lee case demonstrated that the bill should be brought forward urgently and “that Britain’s arcane espionage laws require urgent updating”. ]
