Rachel Reeves, the UK's Finance Minister, emphasized that 'growth is the number one mission of this government' during her visit to China, aiming to generate economic benefits for British businesses.
The UK government is seeking to repair strained ties with China after a six-year gap in talks, with Reeves stating that 'pragmatic and predictable' relations would help boost trade.
During her discussions with Chinese officials, Reeves announced agreements worth £600 million to the UK economy, highlighting a significant opportunity for economic revitalization.
Critics have pointed out the timing of Reeves' visit, as it coincides with rising borrowing costs and financial turmoil in the UK, raising questions about the benefits of re-engagement with China.
