Analysts: 'Leave' vote bad for trade relations

Opinion polls show the two sides neck and neck in the run-up to next week's referendum

Britain's trade relations with China, celebrated as a key part of a golden era during President Xi Jinping's state visit in October, are likely to be affected if Britons vote to leave the European Union in a referendum on June 23.

Analysts and policy experts contacted by China Daily believe the UK would be at a disadvantage in any trade negotiations in the event of a "leave" vote.
