UK names son of ex-Hong Kong governor as ambassador to China
- The UK appointed Peter Wilson, an experienced diplomat and son of a former Hong Kong governor, as ambassador to China in early 2025.
- This appointment comes after a prolonged period of diplomatic strain between Britain and China related to issues such as human rights, Hong Kong, and investment limitations during the time the Conservative party was in power.
- Britain’s Labour government, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, aims to boost diplomatic and economic ties with China, including preparing a major audit of the bilateral relationship.
- The audit, expected in early June 2025, will largely repeat the government's 'three Cs' strategy—challenge, compete, and cooperate—while Peter Wilson noted China remains “as much an opportunity as a threat.”
- The review and improved engagement reflect a shift from strained relations, with Britain seeking economic cooperation despite recognizing Beijing as a long-term security threat.
