Sky News host Chris Smith says Nigel Farage has found “his next battle” and has provided a “prediction we should all take seriously” on communist China.

Mr Smith spoke of a recent clip posted by Nigel Farage on Twitter, in which the Brexit Party leader spoke of the current threat of the Chinese Communist Party.

“This Chinese Communist Party poses a massive threat to the world, a threat to our freedom, a threat to our way of life,” Mr Farage said.

“So my next campaign is to make sure people understand who China are, what the Chinese Communist Party is, what it’s doing to its own people, what it wants to do to the rest of the world.

“We need to wake up to the threat that is posed by China,” he said.

“The warning about China from Nigel Farage is timely and may turn out to be as prophetic as his prediction 17 years ago, on Brexit,” Mr Smith said.

“The days of having any kind of trust in this regime is over. They were our days of ignorance.

“It’s time we woke up and prepared ourselves for every kind of eventuality,” Mr Smith said.
