UK PM visits Beijing to strengthen trade and tackle security issues; insights from Professor Tim Harcourt on Brexit’s impact.

The British Prime Minister has made the first visit to Beijing in eight years, aiming to strengthen trade links and address growing security concerns with China.

Joining us to unpack the visit is Professor Tim Harcourt, Chief Economist at UTS, who discusses how Brexit has reshaped Britain’s approach and the delicate balance between economic opportunities and security commitments to the USA and NATO.

We also explore how China’s alliances with countries like Myanmar and Russia, along with Canada’s differing approach, influence trade relations, and what this visit means for Australia’s relationship with China.
