They are quaking in the Forbidden City at the onslaught of the mighty Gavin Williamson.
What might Huawei be seeking to do in Britain? Rig the result of The X Factor? There is no Fu Manchu itching to read everybody's Snapchat messages about Love Island.
And since we are no longer even to own Gatwick Airport, then there is nothing else to read in Britain these days. How very conservative and patriotic privatisation and deregulation, Thatcherism and neoliberalism, have turned out to have been.
Yes, this is how the once-mighty but now decayed princely states of Asia and elsewhere felt as the British Empire approached. But approach it did. Like them, we can either get on the train, or we can expect to be thrown under it.
Who knows, subject to certain conditions, the Chinese and other rising powers of Eurasia, Asia, Latin America and Africa might even help us to take back control of our key infrastructure? The loss of that control does not concern the Secretary of State for Defence any more than it concerns the great majority of Labour MPs. But it should concern the rest of us.
Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post. I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
