Brits to get visa-free travel to China as Starmer makes major deal with Xi

Britain and China must “work together for the sake of world peace and stability” in tumultuous times, the Chinese President told Keir Starmer as the pair met in Beijing today.

Xi Jinping said the world was in a “turbulent and fluid” state, and said closer ties between the UK and China was “imperative”, whether it was “for the sake of world peace and stability or for our two countries’ economies and peoples”.

He said: “China is a vital player on the global stage and it is vital that we build a more sophisticated relationship.” The PM said he had ordinary Brits in mind on the visit, which is aimed at shoring up economic ties to drum up Chinese business.
