'Serious engagement is back' delegates hear at China-UK export event

A series of partnerships and support measures were unveiled at the event to facilitate greater imports from the UK to China.

The China-Britain Business Council said it would work with the Ministry of Commerce to strengthen market intelligence sharing, business matchmaking, and export support.

ICBC's London branch introduced a full-cycle trade support package covering buyer matching, renminbi cross-border settlement, and risk management services for UK exporters, while Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com pledged to help UK brands reach Chinese consumers through its cross-border e-commerce platform, logistics network, and localized market-entry services.
