The Financial Times says the prime minister has been working to heal the ties between the countries. The Times says Sir Keir has vowed to build a more sophisticated relationship with China. The Daily Mirror says "closer ties with Beijing could reap trade benefits for Britain at a time when the government needs to get the economy firing". The Guardian says the "reset" in the relationship has opened the door to a visit to the UK by President Xi. The Daily Mail has a more critical analysis of the visit, saying "Sir Kowtow Starmer... announced deals so underwhelming, critics responded 'Is that it?'"
