How Far Should the UK Engage With China?
Foreign secretary James Cleverly has been holding talks with officials in Beijing, saying it would not be 'credible' to disengage with China, and that the trip would allow for 'tough conversations'. It comes as the Foreign Affairs Committee warn the government strategy is too secretive to be effective, and one senior Conservative claims the UK position 'smells terribly of appeasement'. the programme debates what approach the UK should take. Meanwhile, there have been stark warnings this week about the dangers of ultra-processed foods. Is the debate being framed correctly, and is there a risk of overcorrection? Plus, the widening economic divide between those born before and after 1980.
