Conducted in October 2024 via an online platform, the survey gathered over 130 responses from company representatives based both in the UK and China. This sample included over 100 individual UK companies, some of whom contributed from representatives based both in the UK and in China, and whose answers form the basis of this report. A smaller sample of Chinese companies also contributed. Their responses are analysed separately.

"This 2024 survey of the China-Britain Business Council’s (CBBC) membership includes the strongest representation of FTSE 100 multinational corporations among China-UK business surveys and highlights the ongoing significance of China to UK business. These enterprises are significant contributors to our national economy, and their focus on the Chinese market highlights its crucial role in their success."
