Cameron Pushes for EU-China Trade Agreement in Beijing

U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron called for the European Union to open talks with China on a full-scale trade deal, as the bloc seeks to curb Chinese goods that EU officials say are being dumped and subsidized.

Cameron arrived in Beijing today for the first time in three years, attempting to boost trade and move on from the diplomatic spats that have characterized his relations with China so far. He met Premier Li Keqiang and told him he wanted more liberal trade rules. At the same time, EU governments approved an agreement to curb imports of Chinese solar panels, ending the bloc’s biggest commercial dispute of its kind.
