Bridging the Gap
China and England share a long history of cultural exchange and trade, and both have much to collaborate with each other in many areas including climate change, trade, technology, and security.
By continuing to foster collaboration and partnership, both can create new opportunities for economic growth and development for enterprises in both countries especially for SMEs, an objective which remains close to our heart.
We welcome people who are interested in working, sharing and collaborating with others on business activities between China and the UK.
