Where to get help

In China, UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) works in partnership with the China-Britain Business Council (CBBC) to deliver trade services. This partnership network is available through the British Embassy in Beijing, the British Consulate-Generals in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Chongqing and Guangzhou, and through CBBC’s presence in 11 mainland China cities, and can assist UK companies by providing advice and information on primary and regional Chinese cities.
