As UK Foreign Minister David Lammy arrives in Beijing, economics expert Adair Turner tells CGTN that cooperation is crucial, if difficult.
"We live in a world of very significant geopolitical tensions and disagreements ...the world is a much more tricky place in the sense that it was maybe 50 years ago," said former FSA and CBI chief Turner.
"I think it's very important that we maintain economic relations and in particular on issues to do with climate change, where China has emerged as a hugely important developer of new clean technology," he added.
