Prime Minister Strengthens UK-China Relations While Standing Up for British Values
The Prime Minister has concluded a historic visit to China, aimed at strengthening Britain’s economic interests while engaging constructively on global security and human rights.
Accompanied by nearly 60 representatives from British business, sport and culture, the visit delivered tangible benefits, including:
-
Improved market access for British exporters -
Relaxed visa rules, including visa-free travel for business and tourism -
New cooperation to disrupt small-boat supply chains used in Channel crossings
The Prime Minister also raised serious concerns directly with China’s leadership, including the case of Jimmy Lai and the ongoing persecution of Uyghur Muslims.
By engaging pragmatically and consistently, Labour is ensuring Britain’s voice is heard at the highest levels – advancing prosperity, security and values together.
