On #C4News tonight @MPIainDS (Iain Duncan Smith) compares Rishi Sunak's "Robust Pragmatism" towards China to Britain's policy of Appeasement of 1930's Germany
In a full throated dismissal of the Prime Minister's big idea on foreign policy IDS says : "I don't think it means anything. It's like a contradiction in terms....I think unless we are clear and robust, China will treat us as weak....."
"And if they do that, they will do it because they think we will end up appeasing them. And I just feel the road to appeasement we went through in the 1930s."
