China is frequently in the news – and the messages can be conflicting. What is the true situation, and what does it mean for Newcastle businesses considering China as an export market?
Chi Onwurah, Labour MP for Newcastle upon Tyne Central & Shadow Minister for Culture & the Digital Economy, the China-Britain Business Council (CBBC) and UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) have combined forces to bring you an insightful workshop on the business climate in China today.
