Recommendation 13
13
Paragraph: 45
Enumerate extra expenditure comprehensively for China capabilities and diplomatic relationship strengthening.
Recommendation
The Government should enumerate extra expenditure more comprehensively and transparently than it has done in the Refresh. We welcome the doubling of funding to build China capabilities; this should be itemised in broad terms so that it is clear what kind of resources will be added. The Government should spell out what will be needed to strengthen diplomatic contact and people-to-people relationships with China, as promised in the Refresh, and how much extra this will cost.
