Subject
The implications of Brexit for China.
Significance
The UK electorate's June 23 decision to leave the EU runs counter to China's preferences, and the economic and political uncertainty it creates will affect China's relations with both the United Kingdom and the EU.
Impacts
UK negotiations with China will focus on areas such as property investment, the financial sector and education.
Northern English and Welsh cities in particular will seek closer business relationships with China.
Greater economic dependence on China may make London feel less able to side with Washington where Chinese-US interests diverge.
