China is a crucial partner for Britain to prosper outside the EU

British Prime Minister Theresa May's upcoming visit to Beijing is part of London's efforts to build "Global Britain" by forging new trade partnerships beyond the EU. Yu Jie (LSE) says both sides have good reasons to want closer engagement in trade and investment, even though they remain poles apart politically. The Prime Minister should grasp the opportunities on her visit to China this month, she contends.
