In the midst of smoldering political relations, China’s Premier Li Keqiang is seeking to stabilize the relationship with the United Kingdom, calling for more collaboration and communication.
“At a time when there are numerous uncertainties in world events, stable China-UK relations can help defend free and fair trade and promote global economic recovery.”
“China’s economy will remain open to the rest of the world, and all market entities, including foreign enterprises, will be treated fairly.”
“China is eager to increase its cooperation with other countries in the fight against the virus and to share its scientific findings on treating virus strains.”
These remarks come as tensions between the two countries have risen in recent months, with the UK denouncing Beijing’s activities in Hong Kong and alleged human rights violations in Xinjiang.
At the time of writing, USD/CNY is hovering just above the 4.7000 level, while GBP/USD is battling 1.3800 amid a stronger US dollar vs its key rivals./n
