whether you like it or not, china is a core trading partnerfor the uk. are not you are not going to tackle the major global issues. climate change, economic stability, a lot of other issues. so you really need dialogue. you could say what america, france, germany are doing, with this dialogue with china... so i think engagement is very important especially with china. police in nor—fork in nebraska pulled over a carfor having a huge bull standing in its passenger seat. the car had half of its roof cut off to fit the animal in. the man driving the car was given a warning by police, and was ordered to take the bull back home. no—one was injured. andrew pfeifer — who actually found the bull in the car and filmed the footage you saw on screen — says it was quite the sight to behold. i hopped in the car and i drove west for a solid 10, 15 minutes, watching the cars pass by — nothing, nothing. and sure enough, i kind of see this little black speck in the distance get closer and closer, and i'm like, that is a full—grown bull. and eventually i pulled a u—turn,

i was so you have to make the distinction within china, uk relations and china and us relations.rful that the british foreign secretary went to china because as you know, the uk's started until it was very badly damaged when you elected prime ministers like borisjohnson ministers like boris johnson and ministers like borisjohnson and liz truss who, the world was shocked that you went from a country that produced great prime ministers, prime ministers then like boris johnson and mistrust. i think rishi sunak is doing. the case between us and china, that is the defining relationship of our time because the global geopolitics in the next ten years will be driven by the relationship between the world's number one power, the united states, and the world's number one imaging power, china. that relationship as you know has gone through lots of ups and downs in the last five and six years, as i document in my book, but the fact that gina raimondo went to beijing is a very positive side because as you know the first few years of the biden administration, the white house throws all that it

uk. he clearly doesn't feel safe. he believes that britain is not taking seriously enough the very real security threat posed by the long reach of china. he says it will take a chinese equivalent of the salisbury poisonings, that is the skripal poisonings, allegedly by russian agents, for the british to wake up to this real threat. do you feel that? china definitely have an extensive surveillance network in the united kingdom. and of course, they are not... probably not as violent in terms of attacking exile activists like russia, but if they are stepping up all those attacks, which would likely happen in the future, then definitely we are living in danger. you've talked about the possibility of abduction. was that a rhetorical device to get the british government to take your security more seriously? do you really mean it? i think there's always a fear like that because of how outrageous the chinese government has been acting. it's really easy to see that they're becoming more and more aggressive — more... more of, like, wolf warrior diplomacy in place. and this is not something that is fabricated or, like, fantasised. in thailand, t

while the uk is struggling to get inflation under control, china's economy is suffering from the oppositen more than two years. people and businesses are not spending, and the world's second largest economy is struggling to revive demand. most developed countries saw a boom in consumer spending after pandemic restrictions ended. the huge increase in demand for goods that were limited in supply coupled with rising energy costs after russia's invasion of ukraine inflated prices, but that hasn't happened in china. there's increasing pressure on beijng to take a more active role in stimulating the economy. joining us now from bath is george magnus, an associate at oxford university's china centre and a senior economic adviser to ubs investment bank. thank you forjoining us today. first, explain what deflation actually is. first, explain what deflation actually is— actually is. actually i was an adviser to — actually is. actually i was an adviser to ubs _ actually is. actually i was an adviser to ubs but - actually is. actually i was an adviser to ubs but was - actually is. actually i was an a

china in decades. let's also look at the oecd�*s latest projections for the g7, including the uk, for 202a. out injune, the outlook in some of these economies has shifted quite dramatically. the us, which was last year widely expected by analysts to be entering recession this year, is looking rather healthier, with some analysts saying it might actually achieve a soft landing, despite the aggressive interest rate hikes of its central bank. similarly, the bank of england forecast last week that the uk would, after all, narrowly avoid a recession. the outlook for the eurozone, where christine lagarde heads the central bank, on the other hand, is looking much bleaker than expected quite recently, with the recession risk on the continent said to be rising. but why does what happens in the global economy matter to us in the uk? well, the simplest way to think about this is to recognise that we are still an economy that is heavily reliant on trade. add up the value of all our exports and all our imports and you get to around 64% of the entire economy, which is, as you can see, actually much highe

there are some who say that britain should sort of turn our backs on china, divest, stop so much trade between the ukthis. there are others that perhaps a decade or so ago were winning the argument that said we should have a golden era with china where the president was brought over to london, the red carpet rolled out and the cameron osborne strategy was deep integration. and i think what we're seeing now under this government is somewhere walking between those two models, not out completely disengaging from china, but certainly not that era of golden engagement that we saw in 2012, 3014. and what we're seeing now is the foreign office saying that there is clearly a vast amount to disagree with about the way that china goes about its internal andindeed china goes about its internal and indeed foreign affairs. but the argument from the foreign office , indeed, the argument office, indeed, the argument from the prime minister is that the only way that you can get across to that regime, perhaps influence that regime , is by influence that regime, is by talking to it . talking to it. >> it's cleverly sa
