China Eyes "Win-Win" Sino-British Relations After Uk's Labour Sweeps To Power China's foreign ministry said on July 5 that it hoped to get Sino-British relations moving on the right track and based on "mutual respect and win-win cooperation" after the UK's Labour Party swept to power."It is also conducive to our joint efforts in addressing global challenges and promoting world peace and development," Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular press briefing.Keir Starmer's centre-left Labour party won a massive majority in the 650-seat parliament with Rishi Sunak's Conservatives suffering the worst performance in the party's long history as voters punished them for a cost of living crisis, failing public services, and a series of scandals.Despite his convincing victory, polls have suggested there is little enthusiasm for Starmer or his party. Thanks to the quirk of Britain's first past the post system, Labour's triumph looked set to be achieved with fewer votes than in both 2017 and 2019 - the latter its worst electoral showing for 84 years.
