UK Prime Minister's first visit to China in eight years, emphasizing that engaging with China is in the country's interest.

BBC reported: "UK Prime Minister Starmer arrived in Beijing on Wednesday, marking the first visit by a UK prime minister to China in eight years. He later delivered a speech to business representatives at his hotel, saying, 'You are part of the change we are pushing for.' He stated, 'Engaging with China is in our national interest.'

Comments: This is a landmark action in the UK's policy toward China after eight years of correction: from the Conservative Party's "Golden Age turning into an Ice Age," to the Labour Party's Stamer government's "pragmatic engagement centered on national interests." Essentially, it is an inevitable choice for the UK to revive its economy and reduce over-reliance on the US - eight years of tough policies have caused British companies to miss out on the Chinese market's benefits, while France and Germany took the initiative. Stamer's visit to China is both a relaxation for businesses and a public rejection of previous "diplomatic negligence."
