Gov.cn: On Wednesday, Premier Li Keqiang spoke via videolink at a Chinese New Year event held by the 48 Group Club. History lesson: The 48 Group Club is a British non-profit devoted to promoting trade between the UK and China. The club is named for the delegation of 48 British businessmen – colloquially known as the icebreakers – who travelled to China in 1954 to reestablish trade relations following the founding of the PRC. Li paid tribute to the original icebreakers (Gov.cn 2): “Sixty-eight years ago, far-sighted personages from the British business community…open[ed] the door to trade between China and the UK.” Li also expressed his hope that their spirit would live on: “The UK is China’s important partner in Europe, and China values Sino-UK relations as always.” “It is expected that the two sides can stick to…win-win cooperation on the basis of mutual respect and equality [and] expand the positive aspects of cooperation.” This is awkward: Sino-British relations have become increasingly strained in recent months. The latest blow came a day after Li’s speech, when the UK pulled Chinese broadcaster CGTN’s broadcasting license over its ties to the Party. Get smart: Rather than enjoying a spring thaw, ties between Beijing and London look set for a deep freeze.
