The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he plans an audit of the UK’s relationship with China.

Answered by Catherine West

Work on the audit is underway, due to conclude in spring 2025. The China audit will examine the UK's interests with respect to China. This will improve our ability to understand and respond to the challenges and opportunities China poses. Parliament will be informed of the findings once the audit has concluded.
