India warns Britain against Brexit trade deal with China in latest war of words
India has issued a stark warning to Britain over striking quick trade deals with “non-democracies” like China after Brexit amid ongoing tensions between the two Asian giants over the contested border known as the Line of Control.
Ashish Chauhan, chief executive of the Bombay Exchange, said Britain leaving the EU was both “an opportunity and a threat” to improve trading relations with Asia.
But he warned the UK not to get “carried away,” adding: “The UK would be better off working with democracies.
“It’s easy to get carried away with fast results from non-democracies.”
When asked to clarify what he meant by “non-democracies”, Mr Chauhan pointed to China, according to the Daily Telegraph.
