May reaffirms 'golden era' in Sino-UK relationship

Before her first visit to China on Sunday to attend the G20 Summit, Britain's new Prime Minister Theresa May reiterated that "this is a golden era for UK-China relations".

Observers immediately noted the significance of the comment, which publicly reinforced the view of the previous resident of No 10 Downing Street, David Cameron.

After Cameron stepped down earlier this year following the European Union referendum and was replaced by May, she did not immediately refer in public to a "golden era".
