How would Britain's Labour party change UK-China relations?
b'
In less than a month\\u2019s time, Britain may well have a new prime minister \\u2013 and a different ruling party. Under 14 years of the Conservative party, the UK\\u2019s approach to China has swung from the sycophancy of the golden era to fear and loathing under Liz Truss, stabilising in the last couple of years to a compete but engage approach, all while public opinion on China has hardened following the Hong Kong protests and the pandemic.

\\nWhat will a new government bring? Will the managerialism of Keir Starmer change UK-China relations much from the managerialism of Rishi Sunak? This is not a hypothetical question as Labour looks set to win the election and the question, now, is how big the Conservative losses will be.
\\n
\\nI\\u2019m joined in this episode by someone who has spent years looking at this issue. Sam Hogg is a political analyst who has covered China as seen by Westminster for years, under the newsletter he founded, Beijing to Britain. He last came on the podcast to discuss Liz Truss\\u2019s views on China \\u2013 a lot has changed then.
