Exactly 1 week before the UK election is decided we dig into what the UK’s current relationship with the People's Republic of China (PRC) is and what it should be? China is by some distance, the most complex bilateral the UK Government will have to wrestle with over the next decade. Our relationship with the PRC cuts across every element of society, business and the economy, and - along with the US - the PRC’s actions determine the weather of global geopolitics more broadly.

At this conference we will delve into the topic that will shape our foreign policy and share our thoughts on how the UK should approach its relationship with China.

So don't miss out on this chance to be part of this lively discussion, we have experts that will discuss the complexities of crafting an effective foreign policy, we will break down the major flash points, share what it's like 'on the ground,' and explore how an incoming government should approach the situation.
