As the strategic partnership between the UK and China strengthens, China UK Link through its director Christine Lee is also breaking new ground with the Chinese government. Last month, when Premier Wen Jiabao made a three-day trip to London Ms Lee was honoured to have spent an afternoon with the Premier making dumplings for the New Year festivities. In March, Ms Lee will once again be travelling to Beijing to take part in the 11th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.
