China Should Seize Post-Brexit Geo-Cooperation Opportunities
ANBOUND
After Brexit, the British Government has placed 'reaching free trade agreement with China' as one of its priorities.
Because of its large economy, China has larger market space as the bargaining chip in negotiating bilateral trade agreement with most of the other countries in the world.
ANBOUND’s research team suggests that compares with union formed by multiple countries, it would be easier for China to achieve bilateral trade agreement; this is true in both economy and in politics.
A post-Brexit United Kingdom and a weakened European Union would be welcomed by China.
China should grab this opportunity to achieve free trade agreement with the United Kingdom, and a higher strategic significance in this is that China can deepen bilateral trade relations with multiple European Union countries and form closer relations in geo-economy.
