The Prime Minister, David Cameron, and 50 key British
business leaders are heading to China in an attempt to forge profitable trade ties in the UK's largest trade trip to the country.
Mr Cameron, who is also accompanied by four Cabinet ministers, will arrive there on Tuesday for two days of talks.
As well as trying to boost business, he will also raise the
issue of China's human rights record.
The visit is his second major trip to an emerging economy
since taking power.
It follows a high-profile visit to India in July.
Mr Cameron's office said he would challenge China on its

human rights record, but was not specific about which

subjects he would raise.

Trade deals

"Our current account deficit with China is by far the
largest deficit we have with any trading partner"
- Robert Peston Business editor, BBC News
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Mr Cameron's coalition government has made broadening
global trade links a priority, with particular emphasis on
the fast-growing developing markets typified by China and
India, both of whose economies are growing fast.
Business Secretary Vince Cable, who, along with the
Chancellor, George Osborne, is already in the country, said
China had huge potential.
"There are about 15 business deals that the group are
working their way through today, you know everything from
coal gasification technology to architects to an
auto-collaboration to work with Tesco and agreements
between University College London and Chinese
universities," he said.
Among those joining Mr Cameron on the trip are executives
from companies including Rolls-Royce, Barclays and Diageo.
Ahead of the visit, the Chinese and British authorities
reached a deal to ensure only whisky produced in Scotland
will be marketed in China as Scotch, a move some estimate
will increase sales by tens of millions of pounds.

»»»» However, Cameron is expected to tread softly on the issue of human rights during his 36-hour visit, disappointing critics of China's policies.
»»»» "This is a vitally important trade mission. Our message is simple: Britain is now open for business, has a very business-friendly government, and wants to have a much, much stronger relationship with China," Cameron said.
Diplomatic ties between Britain and China have become stronger since the British handed back Hong Kong in 1997 but previous trade missions to the world's most populous nation have brought relatively limited rewards.
»»»» Trade between Britain and China is increasing, totalling more than $35 billion (21 billion pounds) in the first nine months of the year, up by 30 percent on the previous year.
»»»» However, officials note that Britain still does more business with its small neighbour Ireland than it does with Brazil, Russia, India and China combined.
China will be hoping that Britain does not bring up in public thorny questions such as imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo and other dissidents such as Gao Zhisheng, as well as avoiding too much talk about the situation in Tibet.

WORLD ECONOMIST -
»»»» Britain has called for Nobel Peace Prize Winner Liu to be released and Foreign Secretary William Hague called for greater autonomy in Tibet during a visit earlier this year.
»»»» Ties were also strained last year after China executed a Briton who was caught smuggling heroin.

BBC & NEWSPAPERS ON SUNDAY -
»»»» Britain's long-term unemployed could be forced to carry out compulsory manual work or risk losing their welfare benefits under plans being put forward by the government, newspapers reported on Sunday.
»»»» "What we are talking about here is people who have not been used to working having both the opportunity and perhaps a bit more of a push as well, to experience the workplace from time to time," Foreign Secretary William Hague told BBC TV.

Why private companies?
*************************
A con from the coalition.
----"The vast majority of people in Britain will think that is the right thing to do."----
If the government start to hear the 'vast majority' then you can bring back hanging, stop all immigration, leave the E.U, make the banks repay, stop giving bonuses for nothing, and many others, however only measures to hurt those who can’t strike back are in order, it seems?

AND THEN THE CRUX...

On Sunday, Archbishop Dawood advised all Christians to leave Iraq now al-Qaeda had warned of more attacks there.
He told the BBC the attack on the church amounted to "genocide" and there was now no place for Christians in Iraq.
"Why are we living now in this country, after we had a promise from America to bring us freedom, democracy?"
The archbishop called on the UK government to grant Christian Iraqis asylum, and called on the Iraqi government to protect Christians from militant attacks.
