UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer visits China to reset relations

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer traveled to Beijing for a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The two leaders discussed establishing what Starmer called a 'sophisticated' relationship between their countries, aiming to reset ties and find economic benefits.

During the visit, China announced it would relax visa rules for UK citizens. The trip is seen as part of a broader trend where some traditional US allies are engaging more closely with Beijing.
