Business and Trade Committee: China and the UK economy

Committee hears from witnesses

The Business and Trade Committee is conducting oral evidence hearings to investigate China's economic relationship with the UK and its implications for British business, trade, and competitiveness. This inquiry examines both opportunities and strategic risks in UK-China economic ties, including supply chain dependencies, technology competition, and investment flows.

China is the UK's fourth-largest trading partner and a major source of foreign direct investment and consumer goods. Understanding the economic relationship is critical for national competitiveness and economic security, especially as the UK faces decisions on technology access, industrial strategy, and supply chain resilience amid geopolitical tensions.
