As the UK prime minister wraps up a landmark visit to the Chinese mainland this week, business leaders are buzzing about fresh opportunities in trade services and consumer markets. CGTN's Vivienne Nunis sat down with two British industry heavyweights to map out what's next for this crucial economic partnership.
💼 Alan Vallance of the Institute of Chartered Accountants highlighted "explosive potential" in fintech collaboration, telling Nunis: "Our 2026 roadmap includes joint certification programs to bridge financial ecosystems." Meanwhile, Brompton Bicycle CEO Will Butler-Adams revealed plans to triple production in China this year, calling it "the world's most dynamic micro-mobility market."
From AI-driven retail innovations to sustainable manufacturing, both leaders emphasized youth-driven consumption patterns reshaping bilateral trade. With UK-China goods and services trade hitting £120 billion last quarter, this rebooted economic alliance could define global commerce through the late 2020s. 🔥
