Today: Submarine deal send powerful message to China in South China Sea

Today: Submarine deal send powerful message to China in South China Sea The submarines deal will create thousands of jobs in Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria, in Derby and elsewhere. And while any political agreement can be unpicked by successors, the budgets, decades-long timelines and near inevitability of China’s strategic importance suggest this is an alliance that could last. The trip rounds off an intense blast of international diplomacy for Rishi Sunak, after Friday’s dash to Paris. The prime minister’s team appear happy with how it went, although being described in public by US President Joe Biden as a man who has a home here in California is not an element of his biography they would seek to put up in lights. #southchinasea
