Hammond is in China to seal a series of trade deals worth more than £1billion
A LEADING Chinese professor has claimed that Britain's lucrative relationship with China could see the country become a leader among Western states after Brexit.Chancellor Phillip Hammond is in China to seal a series of trade deals worth more than £1billion as part of a two-day trip intended to boost post-Brexit cooperation.
Mr Hammond has been joined by the Bank of England chief Mark Carney and the head of London Stock Exchange to sign off on the agreements seen as a sign of post-Brexit prosperity.
Yu Xiong, a Chinese expert based in the UK, has predicted that this trip could eventually see the UK and China team up to lead the world in innovation.
The professor at the Newcastle Business School said that Britain had become China's strongest ally in the West.
Mr Xiong predicted that this friendship between the two countries will see Britain become a "global leader in trade" following Brexit.
He told Sky News: "China and UK have a very stable relationship and a very solid partnership.
"They do not shout loudly about it though because some countries in the West are not happy to see this.
"China is aware that the UK is the most innovative country in the world.
"Deals like this will see London and Shangai remain the two biggest financial centres in the world.
"This will create a big impact on the rest of the world and is very important for the UK to continue its world leadership."
The UK government said both sides would use the meeting to reaffirm their commitment to “a deeper trade and investment relationship as the UK builds an economy fit for the future".
As a result of the agreements, Chinese banks will have direct access to foreign exchange markets in London.
Mr Hammond said: "We are committed to working with our partners to build a truly global Britain, and our relationship with China is strong, growing, and delivering benefits for both countries.
