Chancellor Supports Economic Ties with China
Chancellor Rachel Reeves has rejected the notion of economically disengaging from China, emphasizing the importance of maintaining strong ties with Beijing despite potential pressure from the US to limit dealings with the Chinese government. As she prepares for discussions on a trade deal with the US in Washington next week, Reeves stated that it would be “very foolish” for Britain to reduce its involvement with Xi Jinping’s administration. Her comments highlight a commitment to fostering economic relationships amid geopolitical tensions.
