As an important force within the EU, Britain plays an important role in the development of China-EU relations. It is expected that Britain's attitude towards China will not take a big turn after Britain leaves the EU, but after Britain and the EU "break up", the EU and Britain will "deal with" China respectively.

Britain used to be a big country in the European Union, and its attitude towards China was positive. Its China policy has had a great impact on the EU. For example, Britain has taken a positive stance towards China in calling on the EU to grant China market economy status and opposing trade protectionism.

2. Opportunities for cooperation may increase.

After the separation of Britain and Europe, both sides may pay more attention to developing relations with China for their own interests, thus creating new opportunities for Sino-British and Sino-European cooperation.

Britain has always attached importance to developing relations with China. Sino-British relations have entered a "golden age" and remarkable progress has been made in cooperation in various fields. Since 20 15, Sino-British economic and trade cooperation has achieved gratifying results. Many banks and financial enterprises in China have chosen to do business in Britain, and the construction of offshore RMB market in London has been accelerated. Many British experts and financial professionals are optimistic about Sino-British financial cooperation and the prospect of building an offshore RMB center between China and Britain.

Extended data:

Britain has many global industries, and East Asia also has many traditional advantageous industries. After Britain leaves the EU, it is likely that Britain will continue to look eastward, or even look eastward, and there will be more opportunities for Sino-British cooperation.

From the perspective of the EU, Isabella Chow believes that after Britain leaves the EU, China will be more directly linked with other EU countries in some fields. "There is no need to detour, and China-EU relations may be closer."

Like Britain, the EU will look eastward more actively. China is actively promoting the Belt and Road Initiative to further connect China and Europe. Both the EU and the UK are looking eastward, and the opportunities for cooperation between China and them may increase.
