英国前香港总督彭定康勋爵批评戴维·卡梅伦领导的中英关系“黄金时代”，称其“可悲”。 Former UK Governor of Hong Kong, Lord Patten, criticises David Cameron's 'golden era' of UK-China relations, calling it "pathetic". 这一时期包括中国国家总理习近平于 2015 年对该国进行的国事访问。 This period included a state visit by Chinese Premier Xi Jinping in 2015. 彭定康勋爵承认与中国建立关系的必要性，但他认为仅仅“跪着”追求这种关系的想法是可耻且荒谬的。 Lord Patten acknowledges the need for a relationship with China but finds the idea of only pursuing it "on your knees" demeaning and ludicrous. 自此以后，中国和西方的关系开始恶化。 Relations between China and the West have deteriorated since this time.
