Observing China is the essential newsletter to understand the UK-PRC relationship, explained in the context of global developments.
His Majesty’s (HM) Government’s mantra on its relationship with Beijing of ‘compete, challenge and cooperate’, and the weighting given to each section, will be further tested this week. The United Kingdom’s (UK) ties with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have gained international attention; from Beijing’s desire to establish a ‘mega-embassy’ in London, to Britain’s large volume of research partnerships with Chinese higher-education institutions, the whole world is watching how the UK’s ‘most complex bilateral relationship’ unfolds.
Welcome back to Observing China.
