China-UK rapprochement / Gaza ceasefire deal
On this week’s edition of Global Focus, we’re talking about the future of Sino-British relations. Chinese Vice President Han Zheng met with British Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves at the China-UK Economic and Financial Dialogue in Beijing last week, as both sides signaled their willingness to re-engage after a six year hiatus, with trade and green energies high on the agenda.
However, uncertainty looms as to how much influence the new Trump administration would have on the future of economic ties between the UK and China. So how far is Keir Starmer’s government ready to go in boosting ties with China? And how much influence will the US have on the UK’s trade policy with the region?
In the second part of the programme, we're talking about the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, following month of negotiations brokered by Egypt and Qatar. What are the implications? Was US President-elect Donald Trump involved? And how fragile is this agreement?
