英国内阁办公室前部长：中国应该关心脱欧吗？(21)_英国内阁办公室前部长奥立弗．莱特文：

And in a similar way in Europe， and particularly in the UK， we have distracted ourselves by concerning ourselves with this internal shift．

But world history marches on．

And actually what‘s going on in the world is that china now， and very probably in the near future， India， are becoming again， as they were for thousands of years， half of the world’s GDP and enormously important， economic and geopolitical features．

And， the question of how we achieve a peaceful coexistence between the united states， which still sees itself as having a role of hegemony over geopolitics， and the emerging power， the already emerged power of china and the emerging power of India．

That question is the real question for all of us， for the prosperity of the Chinese， for the prosperity of the states， but also for the prosperity and wellbeing of the citizens of the EU and of the UK．
