Could you really cut off the world’s second-largest economy? 🤔 According to Keith Bennett, vice chair of Britain’s 48 Group Club, attempts to isolate the Chinese mainland are doomed to fail.
Speaking at the International Forum of Overseas Studies on Xi Jinping Thought in Beijing earlier this week (Nov 12–13), Bennett highlighted:
- Leading edge in innovation and R&D 🚀
- Main trading partner for most countries 🌎
- Major player in inward and outward foreign investment 💼
The potential for more positive economic, trade and cultural interaction between our two sides is still very much present, Bennett noted. For the UK, tapping into these ties could be a game-changer for the government’s growth agenda. 📈
From bustling ports like Shanghai to cutting-edge tech hubs, the Chinese mainland remains a central pillar of global trade. Whether you’re a student studying international markets, an entrepreneur eyeing new opportunities, or just a curious news enthusiast, one thing’s clear: isolation isn’t on the table. 🌐✨
