As I write this foreword, UK exports to China, our third largest trading partner, are proving resilient, surpassing pre-pandemic levels across most UK regions and nations. The size of the China business opportunity is more important than ever to UK business. At a time when restoring economic growth is the top national priority, this underlines the importance of the UK-China trade and investment relationship to the UK economy. The China-Britain Business Council is proud of its role as the voice, and the vehicle, for this vital relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This year has not been easy for the business communities of the United Kingdom or China. Increases in shipping costs and energy prices continue to challenge the bottom line of companies. The effects of the covid pandemic, and associated travel and other restrictions, have made the operating climate more difficult for many of our Members. Meanwhile, geo-political tensions have had an impact on business confidence. The China-Britain Business Council will continue to do all it can to support its Members through these challenging times by championing the importance of economic and commercial ties between our two countries; and by the range of Membership and other services we provide.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; margin-top:2em; margin-bottom:2em;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/the-20th-party-congress-people-policies-and-prospects\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"dofollow\" class=\"u7814a00380849c5bdd20c51080eaa0b4\"><style> .u7814a00380849c5bdd20c51080eaa0b4 { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #E74C3C!important; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -o-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); text-decoration:none; } .u7814a00380849c5bdd20c51080eaa0b4:active, .u7814a00380849c5bdd20c51080eaa0b4:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .u7814a00380849c5bdd20c51080eaa0b4 { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .u7814a00380849c5bdd20c51080eaa0b4 .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:#E74C3C; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .u7814a00380849c5bdd20c51080eaa0b4 .postTitle { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .u7814a00380849c5bdd20c51080eaa0b4:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } <\/style><div style=\"padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em;\"><span class=\"ctaText\">Read Also<\/span>&nbsp; <span class=\"postTitle\">China's future after the 20th Party Congress<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Reflecting the more complex political environment, the top-level advocacy and access opportunities we provide to our Members are central to our work. Over this year we have developed a strong series of virtual meetings with senior Chinese policymakers. These are now a key aspect of the Council\u2019s work. I take great encouragement from the messages of support I receive from Member companies who truly value our advocacy work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The highlight was the virtual meeting CBBC held in the summer of 2021 with Premier Li Keqiang and a group of senior UK business leaders, in which it\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">was made clear that business ties between the UK and China were strong and growing. In his opening remarks, Premier Li commented that \u201cUK-China trade has increased against all odds; investment is also on the rise. These trends show that between China and the UK there are not just shared interests, but space for growth. A sound and steady UK-China relationship is also critical for the growth of trade and investment between our two countries\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The CBBC believes that a sound economic relationship with China is a foundation which allows the UK to pursue its broader goals with China<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">No other export market for British business is growing as rapidly as China. Despite the difficulties brought by the pandemic, over the course of 2021, UK goods and services exports to China continued to grow, reaching \u00a318.1 billion and \u00a38.2 billion, respectively. China is where much of the growth will come from for British companies, particularly as the Chinese economy recovers from its current downturn. Indeed, Chinese middle-class consumers are eager to acquire leading British products and services, be they from dynamic small and medium-sized enterprises or world-beating FTSE 100 firms<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We at the China-Britain Business Council believe that a sound economic relationship with China is a foundation which allows the UK to pursue its broader goals with China. That relationship means globally competitive companies, employment, and prosperity right across the UK. Some 800 Chinese enterprises in the UK directly employ more than 75,000 people nationwide. Research shows that our exports to China support \u2013 at a conservative estimate \u2013 a further 120,000 jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; margin-top:2em; margin-bottom:2em;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/the-top-business-stories-of-2022\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"dofollow\" class=\"u91763ef22f364b0c816778bfc368a60e\"><style> .u91763ef22f364b0c816778bfc368a60e { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #E74C3C!important; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -o-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); text-decoration:none; } .u91763ef22f364b0c816778bfc368a60e:active, .u91763ef22f364b0c816778bfc368a60e:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .u91763ef22f364b0c816778bfc368a60e { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .u91763ef22f364b0c816778bfc368a60e .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:#E74C3C; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .u91763ef22f364b0c816778bfc368a60e .postTitle { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .u91763ef22f364b0c816778bfc368a60e:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } <\/style><div style=\"padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em;\"><span class=\"ctaText\">Read Also<\/span>&nbsp; <span class=\"postTitle\">The top 5 China business stories of 2022<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now is certainly not the time for us to turn our backs on all this, or erect arbitrary barriers. It is why CBBC has put so much effort this year in arguing with our political leaders and policymakers for a robust economic and trade relationship, and injecting into the public debate the facts and figures about its significance to the UK economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As well as the services for our Members, we have a close working relationship with the UK government to help British business in China, including through the Department for International Trade\u2019s Export Support Service &#8211; International Markets (ESS-IM), which CBBC delivers for DIT in partnership with Grant Thornton, one of our Members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the ground in China, our network has remained very busy working with and for our Members. During a period in which there have been few government- to-government engagements, CBBC has been able to provide a platform for our Members to engage with senior Chinese leaders, not just with Premier Li Keqiang, but also Vice-Premier Hu Chunhua, and the governors, ministers, and party secretaries from a wide range of China\u2019s major provinces, ministries, and bureaus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Some of CBBC\u2019s business lines have inevitably felt the impact of the more difficult operating environment \u2013 in particular, the covid-related travel restrictions. But our Launchpad service saw increased interest, particularly from the higher education sector, as our clients sought to drive student recruitment and partnership development in a market that continues to be of great importance to UK higher education.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; margin-top:2em; margin-bottom:2em;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/can-chinese-universities-compete-on-a-global-scale\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"dofollow\" class=\"u1cec1dfa2a071d2f879c2428b451d5bf\"><style> .u1cec1dfa2a071d2f879c2428b451d5bf { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #E74C3C!important; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -o-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); text-decoration:none; } .u1cec1dfa2a071d2f879c2428b451d5bf:active, .u1cec1dfa2a071d2f879c2428b451d5bf:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .u1cec1dfa2a071d2f879c2428b451d5bf { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .u1cec1dfa2a071d2f879c2428b451d5bf .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:#E74C3C; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .u1cec1dfa2a071d2f879c2428b451d5bf .postTitle { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .u1cec1dfa2a071d2f879c2428b451d5bf:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } <\/style><div style=\"padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em;\"><span class=\"ctaText\">Read Also<\/span>&nbsp; <span class=\"postTitle\">Are Chinese Universities now competing with the world's best?<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Our Membership has proved highly resilient through this period.
