I'm only opining as to how geopolitics severely limits our control, especially as we deal with the genuinely big economic players - China, the USA and the EU.
We could find ourselves in a considerably bad position should the USA shift on China, with it's economic leverage I'm sure the Chinese would be more forgiving of a new President being more pragmatic. Would it feel the same about the UK? Or would it feel the whole Huawei, and Hong Kong, situation to be a slur on their character? Who knows.
