最近消息,英国正在和中国洽谈自由贸易。
UK explores multi-billion pound free trade deal with China
The Chancellor told the BBC it was time to explore "new
opportunities" across the world, including with China, one of the UK's
biggest inward investors.
That is despite a short term economic shock from leaving the European Union. "What
we now need to do is get on with it in a way that minimises the
economic impact on the UK economy in the short term and maximises the
benefit in the long term," Mr Hammond said, admitting that there had
been "global disappointment" about the Brexit vote. Chinese state media reported earlier in the month that the Chinese Ministry of Commerce wants to do a UK free trade deal. Mr Hammond has now revealed that Britain is also keen. It will be the first time the UK has embarked on such a major project with the second largest economy in the world. And will raise concerns about cheap manufactured goods entering the UK more easily. 'More opportunity'In
return for greater access to the UK for its manufactured products and
investment, China would reduce barriers to Britain's service industries
like banking and insurance as well as UK goods. That would be an important source of export income for Britain.
