特蕾莎·梅政府对华政策调整及其影响

The Adjustment of Theresa May Government's Policy towards China and its Influence

近期,英国军舰擅闯中国西沙群岛领海,再度引发外界对英国新政府对华政策的关注。特蕾莎·梅于2016年7月上台后调整了对华政策,新政策表现为延续性、两面性以及大国平衡性三大特点。特蕾莎·梅执政时期中英关系有所降温,主要由国际政治环境变化及英国脱欧大背景决定,源于英国整体外交战略转型的需要,受到英国新内阁内部对华政策分歧及特蕾莎·梅本人的执政风格等因素驱使。未来,中国应推动中英关系进一步深化,同时对英国对华政策中可能出现的变数做好充分应对准备。

Recently, British warships broke into the territorial waters of China＇s Xisha Islands, once again arousing the concern of the new British government＇s policy toward China. After Teresa May came to power in July 2016, she adjusted her policy toward China. The new policy is characterized by continuity, duality and balance of major powers. The Sino - British relations under Teresa May government have cooled down to some extent. This adjustment is mainly attributed to the global political environment and Brexit background, stemmed from the need of British diplomacy strategic transformation, and is driven by British new cabinet＇s internal policy divergences as well as Teresa May＇s ruling style. In the future, China should further deepen the Sino - British relations and at the same time prepare for the possible changes of the government＇s policy towards China.
