GB News: 'China would love nothing more than the British to lose control of the crucial Chagos Islands'
The UK government is negotiating with Mauritius to cede sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago while retaining control of the vital Diego Garcia military base. This deal could cost taxpayers up to £18 billion, raising concerns about the rationale behind starting negotiations from a position of conceding the islands.
The urgency stems from fears that the International Telecommunication Union may enforce an International Court of Justice ruling that the UK must end its administration of the islands. Critics question whether the government is overreacting to legal pressures and whether China's influence in international organizations is a factor in these negotiations.
