A top executive at British bank HSBC said the U.K. was "weak" for siding with the U.S. in its tussles with China.
Sherard Cowper-Coles, who serves as the head of public affairs at HSBC, made those comments at a closed-door event in June. He said at the time that the U.K. often goes with what Washington demands, adding that that shouldn't be the case, Bloomberg reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
