According to Reuters, UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper will visit China from June 2 to 3. She is scheduled to meet Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing and later engage with the business community in Shenzhen. This visit follows UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's trip to China in January, aiming to stabilize relations. However, underlying tensions remain, including the UK's recent national security veto of a Chinese wind turbine factory plan by Mingyang Smart Energy and pending legal decisions regarding China's new 'super embassy' project in London, which could impact future diplomatic ties.
