China's ambassador to the UK, Zheng Zeguang, has spotlighted the country's stable development as a springboard for stronger bilateral cooperation. Speaking at a London forum discussing China's annual Two Sessions—critical political gatherings outlining economic and social priorities—Zheng called for 'more stability and positive energy' in global markets through tech innovation and sustainability partnerships.
The Two Sessions, he argued, underscored China's ability to balance rapid modernization with social stability—a 'secret sauce' driving the nation’s growth. With Beijing pushing high-quality development in green tech and AI, UK businesses are eyeing opportunities from renewable energy projects to smart city collaborations.
Sherard Cowper-Coles of the China-Britain Business Council praised China’s focus on consumer-driven growth and openness to tourism and education exchanges. Meanwhile, former London finance leader Michael Mainelli called this a 'pivotal moment' for UK-China ties: 'London’s ready to dance with Beijing on green finance and AI innovation', he said during the event.
Both sides agreed on the need to blend ambition with pragmatism—expanding trade while navigating policy differences. For Gen-Z entrepreneurs and climate-focused startups, this could mean fresh pathways in sustainable tech and cross-border investment.
