Mr Sunak also came under heavy fire over his U-turns on China.<\/p>\n
While the Prime Minister was talking tough to the Chinese Premier at the G20, and in the Commons today, Mr Sunak has significantly watered down his anti-China pledges since last summer\u2019s Tory leadership contest.<\/p>\n
Mr Farage said Rishi Sunak is “the man who, when running to become leader of the Conservative Party, and therefore Prime Minister, described China as threat.”<\/p>\n
But now that\u2019s been downgraded. China, is a “systematic challenge.”<\/p>\n
The former Brexit Party leader sided with Mr Sunak\u2019s predecessor Liz Truss, who today urged the Government to label China a threat.<\/p>\n
Ms Truss boldly told the Commons that what the UK must do is “recognise that China is the largest threat, both to the world and to the United Kingdom, for freedom and democracy” and “designate it as such.”<\/p>\n
