The appointment of Emma Reynolds as City Minister raises questions of conflict of interest due to her past lobbying for fewer restrictions on Chinese businesses.
Despite the controversy surrounding Reynolds’ appointment, the government seeks to strengthen financial ties with China to foster economic growth.
Reynolds’ predecessor, Tulip Siddiq, resigned amidst an anti-corruption investigation linked to her family, further highlighting the sensitive nature of China's involvement in UK affairs.
The Prime Minister's spokesman maintained that Reynolds' appointment followed the usual process, without clarifying whether her background necessitated recusal from China-related decisions.
