What does Trump's election victory mean for UK policy on China? (Spoiler: trouble ahead). Some initial views:

Glad to see the Chancellor following on with a similar strategy to last year's Mansion House reforms. Opportunities to go further and be bold!

Jeremy Hunt

Much to welcome in the Chancellor’s Mansion House speech today. Broadly same strategy and approach as I announced in the Mansion House Reforms last year and vitally important for the UK tech, life sciences and infrastructure sectors. One thing however appears to be missing...

Great to be on @SkyNews this evening with @Stone_SkyNews to discuss Marco Rubio as Trump's new Secretary of State. Someone the UK should be able to do business with, but plenty of challenges ahead on China, Israel and Ukraine...
