From The Times and The Sunday Times, this is the story.
I'm Manvin Rana.
They say that eight days is a long time in politics.
Try eight years, because it's eight years since a British Prime Minister stepped on Chinese soil.
Keir Starmer is making history with his visit to Beijing.
Met by a guard of honour, accompanied by an enormous delegation,
he's made it quite clear that he's here to make friends.
We had a very good productive session with real concrete outcomes and it was a real strengthening of the relationship and that's in the national interest because of course there are huge opportunities here in China.
It's the second biggest economy in the world.
But it's not just deals on trade he'll be seeking.
Starmer is joining a long line of world leaders queuing up to meet President Xi.
Having been buffeted by a volatile and unpredictable White House,
they're seeking a bit of stability by forging a new alliance with a great power.
We used to talk about de-risking from China.
I don't hear that too much anymore.
If you know what I'm saying, we're talking about de-risking elsewhere.
It's a rupture.
It's not a transition.
Canada can thrive in a new system.
But to do so, we must be ambitious.
