Foreign Secretary James Cleverly
FOREIGN Secretary James Cleverly’s trip to China on Wednesday is unlikely to make real progress unless Britain stops “prioritising our status as a loyal junior partner to US imperialism,” a China expert told the Morning Star today.
Carlos Martinez, author of The East is Still Red and an editor of the Friends of Socialist China website, said the minister’s decision to visit Beijing was good news.
Mr Cleverly is due in the Chinese capital for talks with China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Vice-President Han Zheng.
