On August 30, UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverley will embark on an official visit to China, following an invitation extended by the Chinese government, as announced by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin.

Wang highlighted the shared responsibility of China and the UK, both permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, in advancing global peace, stability, and development.

During Cleverley's visit, comprehensive discussions are anticipated on topics including Sino-British relations, along with international and regional matters of mutual concern.

The Chinese spokesperson expressed optimism for constructive dialogue between London and Beijing, fostering mutual understanding and bolstering stable bilateral relations.

Earlier reports had suggested the possibility of Cleverley's visit, which faced postponement due to the change in China's foreign minister. In late July, Wang Yi succeeded Qin Gang in this role, paving the way for the upcoming diplomatic engagement.

This is happening as US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo held talks with her Chinese counterpart in Beijing on Monday, aiming to ease trade tensions between the world's two largest economies. Raimondo's four-day visit, spanning from Monday to Wednesday, is part of a series of high-level visits by US officials to China in recent times.

The big picture 

Diplomatic relations between the UK and China have deteriorated significantly, marking one of the most strained periods in decades. Among the array of disagreements, sanctions, alongside the Taiwanese issue are major points of contention.

Earlier this month, British lawmakers warned against importing Chinese electric vehicles, claiming the technology embedded in the vehicles could be used to spy on British citizens, according to a report by The Telegraph.
