Prime Minister Keir Starmer is planning to visit Beijing and Shanghai in the new year as the UK attempts to improve diplomatic ties with China after years of strained relations.

A Jan. 29-31 trip has been penciled in, although the dates have not yet been confirmed, people familiar with the matter said. Reuters earlier reported the timing of the trip.
