Reeves aims to boost UK economy during China visit

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is visiting China to discuss trade and investment, aiming to improve the UK economy amid rising borrowing costs and a declining pound. This trip follows criticism due to economic challenges at home. Reeves will meet with China's Vice Premier He Lifeng to explore deeper economic cooperation and address issues like China's support for Russia and human rights in Hong Kong. The UK Treasury emphasizes the importance of this relationship for job support and trade. The visit includes discussions on reducing barriers for UK businesses in China and promoting financial services. Reeves will also visit a successful UK export company, Brompton, during her trip.
