China APPG

First Registered: 30/07/2015 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

The group’s aim is to increase UK-China engagement and dialogue. The group wants the UK to challenge and compete with China; but also to cooperate with China including on policy areas such as AI regulation and safety, climate change, and trade and investment.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
