Progress on travel, trade and crime fighting

Keir Starmer will be pleased that he has secured several agreements to mark his visit to Beijing - though No 10's announcements have not put a figure on the value of the deals and by the warm tone of Xi Jinping's remarks about his government.

This is what the UK has secured so far:

Visa-free travel to China

This is probably the biggest coup.

Visa-free travel for Britons to visit China for under 30 days will allow holidays and business trips without the usual bureaucracy. The agreement brings the UK into line with 50 other countries including France, Germany, Italy, Australia and Japan.

Partnership on services sector and hint of a future trade deal

The UK is a major exporter of services, providing £13bn worth to China every year. There is no free trade agreement on services, but the two countries agreed to a "feasibility study" about the possibility of a deal. If established, this could mean clear and legally binding rules for UK services firms doing business in China.
