摘要
The unexpected outcome of the Brexit referendum caught Britain, Europe and the world off guard. Despite the possibility that Britain might hinder the process via certain measures, we can now say that the Britain-EU divorce is inevitable. In the wake of the shock, people have reflected on how Brexit was able to happen and what will be the consequences. This paper seeks to explore these issues.
Attention should be focused on two aspects of Britain's exit from the European Union.The first is the emergence of populism and extremism and the consequent changes to the political landscape of Western countries.The second is the significant shock that Britain's departure is having on Britain itself and the European Union(EU).Brexit has,and will continue to have,a profound influence on Britain's economy,political situation,unity and international status.Brexit is also likely to cast even thicker clouds over the outlook for the EU,and how it handles the crisis will be critical in shaping its future.China needs to adjust policies in accordance with the changes to its economic relations with Britain and promote Sino-British and Sino-EU relations so that everyone can enjoy economic gains.
