UK’s Sunak secures last-minute meeting with China’s Xi at G-20

NUSA DUA (Bloomberg): Rishi Sunak (pic) will hold talks with Xi Jinping on Wednesday (Nov 16), becoming the first British prime minister to meet with the Chinese president in almost five years, after a last-minute diplomatic effort at the Group of 20 summit.

In office for just three weeks, Sunak has softened Britain’s approach to China, backing away from his predecessor Liz Truss’ plan to label the Asian country a “threat” to Britain.
