Towards a Future UK-China economic relationship Forum was held in London on 22nd November 2022. Despite geopolitical turbulence, investment activity continues to develop between China – as one of the world’s top two economies – and its western counterparts. At a time when the UK is reorientating its global trading relationships and seeking new opportunities in key sectors such as digital finance and sustainability, this forum examines economic developments in China and opportunities for enhanced trade and investment.
While taking account of some of the geopolitical headwinds, this forum looked at the often overlooked and poorly understood practical development and global engagement of China’s economy and principal business sectors. Underpinning the panel discussions is a practical focus on promoting mutual understanding for future economic benefit.
John Mclean OBE, Chair of China UK Business Development Centre, along with Gordon Orr, Senior Adviser and former Chairman Asia McKinsey, and David Roth, CEO, Store, EMEA and Asia, WPP Global Retail Practice shared views on a joint China-UK innovation strategy.
Other speakers include Richard Burn, former HM trade Commissioner for China, and Fang Wenjian, Chairman, China Chamber of Commerce in the UK, General Manager, Bank of China, London.
