Parties have similar China policy

The results of the British general election will not change current China-UK relations significantly, analysts and business leaders predicted.

The election is one of the closest in recent history, and observers said it likely will result in a "hung Parliament" in which no party controls a majority of seats.

However, "all political parties now acknowledge the importance of working with China on trade, education and other issues", said Rana Mitter, professor of the history and politics of modern China at the University of Oxford.
