What to expect as UK PM Keir Starmer visits China

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer visits China, the first such trip in eight years, aiming to boost trade ties while addressing security concerns and human rights issues. The visit follows approval of a new Chinese embassy in London and comes amid strained UK-US relations and a sluggish British economy. Starmer is expected to discuss trade, climate change, and the case of jailed British citizen Jimmy Lai, but major breakthroughs are unlikely.
