Beijing (AFP) Jan 11, 2025

British treasurer Rachel Reeves said Saturday that London was a "natural home" for Chinese finance as she began a visit to Beijing in the shadow of bond market turmoil back home. Reeves, whose formal title is chancellor of the exchequer, is the most senior British government official to visit China since then-prime minister Theresa May held talks with President Xi Jinping seven years ago.
