Here the Press Association looks at some of the key announcements made, as well as the issues raised during the Prime Minister’s trip to China. – Visa-free travel: Britons visiting China for less than 30 days will no longer need a visa. China and the UK also agreed to conduct a “feasibility study” towards a binding services deal. – Small boats: Chinese and UK authorities for the first time will work together and share information aimed at disrupting small boats crossings. The agreement will prevent these, as well as dinghies made in China, ending up in the hands of people smugglers.
