My point is that uncle sam and his propaganda machines try to portray UK's warm welcome as kowtowing to China, and that China will not respect country that is "kowtowing" to them. Us laughing at the UK here just help uncle sam make his point. We're actually need to be happy about the warm welcome, not because we think that the UK is "kowtowing" to us, but because China managed to get UK on her side. Nothing is better than gaining a crucial friend in our one belt one road, eurasia integration project.
