British business leaders are doubling down on collaboration with China, calling it a \u0022critical partner\u0022 in the post-Brexit era . The push came during the \u0022Icebreakers\u0022 Chinese New Year celebration in London, where executives echoed a 70-year legacy of bold trade diplomacy.
The event honored the 1954 \u0022Icebreaking Mission\u0022 by 48 UK entrepreneurs who defied U.S. sanctions to establish early trade links with the newly founded People’s Republic of China. Today’s leaders say that spirit of innovation is more vital than ever: \u0022Closer China-UK ties don’t just benefit us—they boost global stability,\u0022 read Chinese Premier Li Qiang’s message, delivered by Ambassador Zheng Zeguang.
With Brexit reshaping the UK’s economic landscape, firms see China’s market as key for growth. \u0022Mutual investment, green tech, and digital innovation are the new frontiers,\u0022 one attendee noted, framing cooperation as a win for jobs and next-gen industries.
As the Year of the Dragon begins, both sides appear ready to write a fresh chapter in this 70-year trade saga—proving that sometimes, breaking the ice is just the start.
