Talks 'can help Chinese banks' in UK

Regulators urged to pave the way for opening up additional branches

Regulators in Britain and China can help more Chinese banks open branches in the United Kingdom, City of London Lord Mayor Roger Gifford said.

"We would like the regulators to be comfortable with each other so that we can have branches here as well as subsidiaries, because we would like to see more banks opening here," Gifford told China Daily.
