Recent reports from the Telegraph - that a Chinese wind turbine maker previously barred from the UK under national security pretext is seeking to overturn the decision, and that components in Royal Navy drones allegedly transmitted data to China - represent another episode in which some British media and some politicians have amplified the "China threat" narrative. Chinese experts said some British institutions are projecting their own practices onto China and making unsubstantiated claims about the security risks of Chinese equipment, while political pressures, defense priorities and efforts to preserve Britain's strategic relevance are also shaping the debate. They warn that sustained negative rhetoric could gradually erode mutual trust and complicate UK-China relations.
In March, the Labour banned the Chinese wind turbine maker Ming Yang over so-called "national security concerns," thwarting the company's plans to build a factory in the Scottish Highlands. The company is now attempting to persuade the British government to review that position after Andy Burnham's arrival in No 10 and the appointment of Miatta Fahnbulleh as the new Energy Secretary, according to the Telegraph.
The Telegraph report also cited Aman Wang, Ming Yang's UK head, as saying that "the company's proposed factory could create 1,500 direct jobs, with up to 8,000 more in the supply chain." He added: "We are committed to supporting the growth in every postcode that this government wants to see, to re-industrialisation and to lowering energy bills."
The report claimed the wording appeared to be a direct appeal to Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who pledged to deliver "growth in every postcode" in his first major policy speech after taking office. The report also claimed that the company's potential entry into the UK market triggered "alarm bells", with officials from the Ministry of Defense reportedly fretting that it "would create opportunities for spying."
When asked to comment on UK's moves to block plans by Ming Yang Smart Energy to build a wind turbine factory in Scotland on national security grounds, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said during a press conference on March 26 that China-UK economic, trade and green cooperation is in nature mutually beneficial. Such cooperation should not be viewed as political and security issues. 
"It is hoped that the UK will provide a fair, just and non-discriminatory business and investment environment for companies of all countries, including Chinese companies," the spokesperson added.
Ming Yang had not responded to a request for comment from the Global Times as of press time on Monday. 
Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Zhongshan, China, Ming Yang Smart Energy is a leading global wind turbine manufacturer and clean energy provider, according to the company's website. The Telegraph previously reported that the company had unveiled plans to build a factory in Scotland to manufacture wind turbine blades for the UK and European markets.
Ming Yang's push for eased restrictions under the new government is a legitimate commercial move. However, certain Conservative-leaning media outlets have used the case to amplify the "China threat" narrative. The case also highlights concerns that the UK has increasingly resorted to so-called national security reviews to restrict Chinese companies and supply chains, Li Guanjie, a research fellow with the Shanghai Academy of Global Governance and Area Studies under the Shanghai International Studies University, told the Global Times. 
Prolonged reviews, limited disclosure and the absence of formal rulings can leave firms in regulatory limbo, increasing costs and effectively pushing them out of the market without an explicit ban, said Li. 
Also on Sunday, another report from the Telegraph claimed that the cameras on the K3 Scout surveillance drones of the Royal Navy had components made in China which "were secretly transmitting information to a device in the country." The Royal Marines have been using the £12m fleet since March and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) was forced to remove all internet connectivity from the cameras after discovering the breach.
British media coverage of Chinese-made camera components carries distinct Cold War overtones, said Zhang Junshe, a Chinese military affairs expert. He noted that US and UK intelligence agencies have faced allegations of exploiting technical vulnerabilities for intelligence-gathering purposes.
Against this backdrop, Zhang said some Western governments and media are projecting their own historical practices onto China, presuming without evidence that Chinese companies or equipment pose similar risks and repeatedly portraying Chinese technology as a security threat.
Li said some British politicians and government departments may play up national security concerns to bolster the case for higher defense spending, with narrative of China-related threats offering an especially effective way to attract public attention and justify larger budgets.
He added that Burnham is likely to retain the former Starmer administration's framework of "cooperate, compete and challenge" until the next general election amid Britain's constrained national capacity, narrower global ambitions and growing diplomatic focus on Europe. However, continued hyping of China-related security risks may further fuel negative perceptions of China among the British public and business community.

B |     你是不是也有过这样的经历：                    看视频时，不自觉把速度调到三倍，沉迷于“一分钟带你看完一部经典”；                         智能手机重度依赖，吃饭、洗澡、睡觉从不离身，担心错过什么消息，害怕一秒钟的无聊；                         打开电脑原本打算工作，却先点进了邮箱，顺手刷了几条短视频，起身泡了杯咖啡……等回过神来，一小时已经过去。                        越来越多人根据这些表现，“赛博确诊”为ADHD（注意力缺陷多动障碍）：总是拖延、容易分心、踩着DDL完成任务、对刺激上瘾……                    但事实上，ADHD往往要追溯儿童期的发育轨迹，它所带来的影响也常常贯穿整个成长过程，影响学业表现、人际交往和日常生活等诸多方面。                   我们大多数人所面对的，其实是注意力在现代生活中不断溃散，一种被信息洪流和高压生活共同塑造的“现代病”。                   因此，与其一味自责“我太拖延”“我不够自律”，不如先承认一个现实：现代生活本身就不鼓励专注。

C |                    所以，这篇文章不是教你如何变成高效运转的机器，而是想带你重新练习一件小事：在一个充满干扰的世界里，找回你的注意力。                   找些“观众”，激发你的“表演型人格”                    有时，我觉得我的专注力需要依靠“观众”来维持：                    独自工作或学习时特别容易分心，但一旦换到图书馆、咖啡厅，或者进入线上自习室，立马就会产生一种“被观看”的压力。                   事实上，这并不是错觉。                   我们的大脑其实很容易被环境“牵着走”，对于注意力涣散的人来说，眼前的一切都是信号。

D |                    身边安静敲字的人、窗外光影的流动、甚至隔壁桌翻书的节奏，都会变成一种“视觉线索”，默默提醒你：是时候该专注了。                   与此同时，“被看见”也会带来一种低水平的焦虑与压力。

E | 在某种程度上，知道别人在那里（即使他们没有密切注视你）提供了一种温和的问责感——足以防止你走神，但又不会多到让人感到压抑。                   这种现象在心理学中被称作“社会助长效应”（Social Facilitation），指一个人因他人在场（真实的、虚拟空间的或想象的），投入更多努力，表现得更好[1]。

F |                    不过，社会助长效应并非万能。

G | 当你面对的是一项陌生或难度较高的任务时，这种“被观看”反而可能造成社会抑制（Social Inhibition），让你变得非常焦虑，怀疑自我，从而表现下滑。                   在自然中散步，让注意力自然恢复                    当你像八爪鱼一样忙于各类表格、报告和会议，大脑的前额叶皮层就像过热的CPU，一直处于“强制运转”状态，进而引发认知疲劳：心情烦躁、反应迟缓、决策困难。                   此时，最好的休息方式不是拿起手机，而是去公园走走，让大脑切换到另一套注意力系统。

H |                    根据环境心理学家Kaplan的注意力恢复理论（ART），除了由认知控制过程，引导强制聚焦的定向注意力以外，我们还拥有一种无需耗力的非自愿注意力[2]。                   这种注意力会被自然中那些温和而有吸引力的事物唤起，比如：日落的光影、鸟鸣的节奏、树叶轻晃的律动。                   这些“柔和刺激”能让大脑在无需刻意集中的状态下激活“默认模式网络”，减轻前额叶皮层负荷，帮助认知资源的再生和定向注意机制的恢复[3]。                   当然，天天去公园散步对打工人来说不太现实。                   但哪怕只是看一眼绿色，也能让大脑“喘口气”。

I | 你可以试试：                    把桌面壁纸换成自然风景（云游一下）；          在办公桌上养几株水培绿萝；          把午餐带到楼下绿化带里吃（并假装在野餐）。                        听点播客：“有声的安宁”与“隔绝的陪伴”                    我经常在打开文档，准备写作时，脑子开始神游。明明坐在工位，人却已经走了一会了。                   但只要戴上耳机，听喜欢的播客，纷乱的思绪就会慢慢收回，心也渐渐静了下来。                   一项针对18-35岁脑力劳动者的最新研究证明了这一点。研究者指出，在做“正事”时听播客，并非“摸鱼”，而是一种有效的自我调节方式[4]。                   在高密度的信息环境中，我们的注意力常被分散在多个网页、弹窗和对话框之间，陷入“任务启动—中断—重启”的循环中，难以维持思维的连贯性。                   而播客的线性叙事则恰恰相反，它像一条在大脑后台运行的稳定“主线”，让你重新感受到时间和意识的连贯性。                   不仅如此，播客还能唤醒“闲置”的听觉，平衡因视觉过载而失衡的感官系统。视觉刺激的持续轰炸会放大内在的空虚感，使注意力更加涣散，思绪难以集中。                   这时，播客就像一个“声音罩子”，在你周围搭建起清晰的知觉边界。它不喧哗，却足够有存在感，能够隔离外部干扰，收回飘散的意识，把注意力轻轻安放在当下。                   连哄带骗，及时进行自我奖励                    我有个同事，每天下午都会吃些小零食，点杯奶茶，每次发完稿，还会奖励自己吃一顿好的，“哄”自己上班。                   这听起来有些幼稚，但其实是一种聪明的注意力管理策略。                   Esterman等人的研究显示，奖励会影响注意力网络的激活方式。

J |                    当任务带有奖励时，大脑会主动调动任务正性网络。无论你状态好坏，这些区域都能维持较高的活跃水平。相反，在没有奖励的情况下，大脑只有在出错或快崩溃时才会被动激活这些区域[5]。

K |                    换句话说，适时的小奖励并非可有可无的甜头，而是将注意力系统从“被动摆烂”切换至“主动投入”的有效开关。                   找到属于自己的“时区”                    看了这么多小Tips，你可能还是会困惑：                    为什么有时注意力特别集中，效率爆棚；可有时坐在电脑前，却怎么也提不起劲来？                    答案可能很简单：不是你不行，而是你用错了时间。                   心理学家Gloria Mark指出，把最耗脑力的任务安排在“注意力高峰期”，是提升注意力的关键。研究发现，大多数人会在上午10点和下午2—3点进入专注巅峰[6]。                   但这并非放之四海而皆准。                   早在1976年，神经科学家Jim Horne就开发了晨晚型问卷（MEQ），用来评估个体的生理节律差异。

L | 结果显示：早起型的人通常在上午状态最佳，而晚睡型的人，则可能要等到下午甚至晚上，才真正上线[7]。                   找到自己的“精神时区”，不是为了迎合外界节奏，而是反过来，建立属于自己的时间分配逻辑：高效时段用来处理深度任务，低效时段留给琐碎杂活。                   这样一来，你就能少一点勉强、少一点自责，多一点顺势而为。

M |                    当创伤记忆侵袭，让身体帮你着陆                    对于经历过创伤的人来说，注意力不是简单的“分心”，而是一种被“剥夺”的状态。                   创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）会让大脑陷入“持续的威胁感”。当某个细节、声音或画面触发创伤记忆，身体会立刻启动“战斗或逃跑”反应，释放压力激素，调动全部资源应对危险[8]。                   此时，负责专注、计划等认知功能的前额叶皮层会被抑制，注意力也容易被闪回、警觉和身体紧张劫持，难以专注于眼前任务。                   在这种时候，重新回到身体，往往是让大脑重启的第一步。                   一个常见的方法是感官锚定（Sensory Grounding）：说出5个你看到的东西，4个你能触摸的东西，3个你听到的东西，2个你闻到的东西，以及1个你能尝到的东西。                   通过激活感官，注意力得以从痛苦的思绪中抽离，重新与现实连接，并提醒大脑：此刻是安全的。                   当注意力被撕扯时，我们真正需要的，可能不是更用力地集中，而是让身体落回那个可以安静下来的地方。                   参考文献          [1]Sanders，G.S.(1981).Driven by distraction:An integrative review of social facilitation theory and research.Journal of Experimental Social Psychology，17(3)，227–251.          [2]Berman，M.G.，Jonides，J.，&Kaplan，S.(2008).The cognitive benefits of interacting with nature.Psychological science，19(12)，1207–1212.          [3]Hopman，R.J.，Atchley，R.A.，Atchley，P.，&Strayer，D.L.(2021).How nature helps replenish our depleted cognitive reserves and improves mood by increasing activation of the brain’s default mode network.In S.M.Lane&P.Atchley(Eds.)，Human capacity in the attention economy(pp.159–187).American Psychological Association.          [4]周好雨.“有声的安宁”和“隔绝的陪伴”:“做正事”时为何听播客——数智时代劳动正义的听觉实践[J].上海广播电视研究，2025(3):26-42.          [5]Esterman，M.，Reagan，A.，Liu，G.，Turner，C.，&DeGutis，J.(2014).Reward reveals dissociable aspects of sustained attention.Journal of experimental psychology.General，143(6)，2287–2295.          [6]Mark，G.(2023).Attentionspan:a groundbreaking way to restore balance，happiness and productivity.Hanover Square Press.          [7]Horne，J.A.，&Östberg，O.(1976).A self-assessment questionnaire to determine morningness-eveningness in human circadian rhythms.International Journal of Chronobiology，4(2)，97–110.          [8]Fani，N.，King，T.Z.，Clendinen，C.，Hardy，R.A.，Surapaneni，S.，Blair，J.R.，White，S.F.，Powers，A.，Ely，T.D.，Jovanovic，T.，Ressler，K.J.，&Bradley，B.(2019).Attentional control abnormalities in posttraumatic stress disorder:Functional，behavioral，and structural correlates.Journal of affective disorders，253，343–351.                    本文来自微信公众号：简单心理 （ID：jdxl2000），作者：予警、七月，责编：罗文。
