As we approach Beijing a familiar voice comes over the plane tannoy from the cockpit.

The prime minister has commandeered the kit to talk to passengers — and thanked the corporate and cultural delegation who are accompanying him for coming along.

He ended with a joke — that we should sit back and relax, and he would be landing the plane in Beijing

PM Starmer has agreed
to allow some intelligence sharing with China.

[Reporters have stated
The Criminal Gangs will arrange for the
Motor Small Boat Engines to be shipped to another country]




[Sir Keir Starmer is expected to strike a new border
security pact with China aimed at disrupting
the supply of small boats.
The government says that more than 60% of small boat
engines used by people smugglers crossing the
English Channel are manufactured in China


The new deal will allow UK law enforcement agencies
to work with Chinese authorities to prevent this
equipment reaching criminal networks in Europe.

Officials will share intelligence to identify
smugglers' supply routes and engage
with Chinese manufacturers to prevent legitimate
businesses being exploited by organised crime.]
