China and the United Kingdom are taking steps to rebuild their relationship after years of tension. The U.K. prime minister’s visit to China, the first in eight years, signals a shift toward renewed economic cooperation. Both sides discussed expanding trade and collaboration in areas such as finance, artificial intelligence, and clean energy.
The U.K. is also trying to diversify its trade partners amid global economic uncertainty and changing U.S. trade policies. While security concerns still exist, the visit shows that economic stability and long term growth are key priorities for both countries.
