London must find a way to align interests with new global order

UK Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs David Lammy paid an official visit to China from Friday to Saturday, the first visit by a senior UK official since the Labour Party took power in July.

The visit attracted widespread attention, especially as it marked the reengagement between the two countries after several years of tensions.

In 2015, the two nations' leaders jointly announced that Sino-British relations had entered a "golden era", and the United Kingdom even became the first Western country to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
