STORYLINE
British Prime Minister David Cameron touched down in Beijing on Tuesday in a trip where he hopes to significantly increase trade between the two countries.
Cameron, accompanied by four cabinet ministers and about 50 business leaders, arrived for two days of talks in Beijing - his second major trip to court an emerging economy following a high-profile visit to India in July.
Cameron will meet Chinese President Hu Jintao and holds talks in Beijing on Tuesday with Premier Wen Jiabao.
In a speech Wednesday, the British leader will insist that his country still has clout on the world stage.
The British Prime Minister is being joined by executives from Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Tesco PLC, Barclays bank and Diageo PLC, among others.
Cameron's office confirmed that he will challenge China on its human rights record during his visit, but declined to elaborate.
Britain's new government has made trade with developing economies its key foreign policy priority, hoping to lift the country's sluggish growth by boosting exports.
Prior to Cameron's arrival on Tuesday, UK treasury chief, George Osborne attended the third China-UK Economic and Financial Dialogue, and met with Wang Qishan, Chinese Vice-Premier in charge of economic, energy and financial affairs.
The British Chancellor said in the current economic climate, it was important for the UK and China to work together to strengthen economic ties.
Osborne made the comments ahead of the upcoming Doha round of trade talks, saying the two countries together could play an influential role in assisting the world through the current uncertain economic times.
"China, as the largest exporter of manufactured goods, the UK as the world's second largest exporter of services; we have a central objective to work together to resist protectionism in all its forms, to reduce barriers to trade and investment, to develop new markets, to expand world trade, to see greater progress on the Doha round," he said.
