Description
Kerry Brown re-examines the UK-China relationship and considers how recent seismic geopolitical events have reframed and recast the UK's future engagement with China. At a time of heightened international insecurities and fractured global relations, the need to actively engage with China and to understand its ambitions and values, argues Kerry Brown, remains as strong as ever.
