Background United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May, with other ministers and business persons, made her first official prime ministerial visit to China, 31 January 2018 - 2 February 2018. While the meetings between the Prime Minister and Chinese President Xi and Premier Li Keqiang discussed a range of global and bilateral issues, a particular focus was on the nature of developing UK-China trading and investment relations post-Brexit. The author argued that it will be difficult if not impossible for the United Kingdom to get a beneficial free trade agreement with China. The UK’s best prospects for a favourable trade agreement with China, a strong currency and rules-based trade were to be found by remaining within the EU. |
