Lunchtime Talk

Brexit looks East: Will China be friend or foe after the UK leaves the EU?

Synopsis

Since the UK’s decision to leave the EU, there has been much discussion of the country’s desire to seek new trade partnerships with China and other markets in Asia. Yet a conversation has only just begun about the security, economic, cultural and diplomatic implications of a new policy in which the UK no longer shares in EU policymaking. How will economic and values-related policies change in the UK as it seeks to engage with China? Is the UK realistic about seeking opportunities with other major Asian actors? This talk will explore this and related issues.
