China is an unexpectedly strong supporter of the Remain camp

The debate over Brexit has already made history of international affairs. Yu Jie (Cherry) notes that it is very rare for China, Japan and the United States to agree with one other on issues of international politics. However, all three countries share the view that Britain’s future is in the European Union. Notably, president Xi Jinping has joined other major world leaders and openly voiced that he too would prefer for the UK to remain in the EU.
