British media: UK Prime Minister Starmer said that the UK cannot ignore the economic opportunities brought by China ahead of his visit to China. He will lead a delegation to Beijing and Shanghai, making him the first UK prime minister to visit China since 2018.
Starmer emphasized that the UK will not "choose between" the US and China. The UK will maintain its close relationship with the US in business, security, and defense, but at the same time will not ignore China. This visit will bring "significant opportunities" for UK businesses, and many British business leaders are expected to accompany the delegation.
Although recent US-UK relations have fluctuated due to Trump's remarks and actions, Starmer stated that he will maintain the close ties with the US.
