Is Starmer’s China visit a lose-lose trip? Starmer was looking for win-win, Golden Era opportunities from his China visit, but the reality has yielded few tangible outcomes, writes Sam GoodmanKeir Starmer’s visit to Beijing this week has been a carefully stage-managed affair with both sides keen to talk up the prospect of a new and improved “sophisticated relationship”. What’s changed since the UK’s last visit? China trip yields few tangible winsSimilar to the recent visits of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and French President Emmanuel Macron to Beijing, the tangible outcomes from this visit appear few and far between. The challenge now will be for the government to answer critics of its China policy, who assert that national security concerns are being ignored and increased investments and trade from China has not materialised.
