As the Integrated Review Refresh (IRR) 2023 made clear, China poses an epoch-defining challenge to the type of international order we want to see, both in terms of security and values. As you would expect, we continually assess threats to UK national security and we will continue to strengthen our national security protections in those areas where the actions of the CCP pose a threat to our people prosperity and security.

The National Security Act 2023 will enable our law enforcement and intelligence agencies to deter, detect, and disrupt the full range of modern day state threats, including from China.
