Gordon Brown in China
18 January 2008 | Steve Bagshaw
On the first day of his visit to China, Gordon Brown claimed that a good relationship between Britain and China is crucial to the health of the world economy.
As a result, he wants to increase trade between the two countries by 50 per cent over the next two years.
He predicts that the move will create tens of thousands of British jobs. Do you think he is right?

I agree with the opinion that the relationship between the UK and China will be crucial. With the growing strength of China economy, the domestic buying power in China is becoming bigger, which means not only China will continue playing roll as an manufacture exporter, but also it will demend more and more import from the rest of world, including the UK. However, how is Brown going to double the trade with China? We want to know more details.
