London's new lord mayor seeking more China deals

The City of London's new lord mayor will push for the United Kingdom's main financial district to do more business with China.

Charles Bowman, who became the 690th lord mayor of the City of London on Nov 10, said he would like to leave two "China legacies" during his year in office.

"I'm really keen to grow financial and professional services engagement between China and the UK, and promote London as a natural western hub for the Belt and Road Initiative," Bowman said.
