1. It’s Chinese new year!
2. And it can be a truly golden year for Britain and China!
3. Our economic relationship goes from strength to strength.
4. Since we came to office the number of British goods bought in China has doubled.
5. We of ten think of Chinese food, technology, clothing. They are big part of our lives in Britain.
6. But today it works both ways.
7. Look at China’s supermarket sent you see British Salmon, British Whisky.
8. Look at China’s Roads and you see Jaguars, Land Rovers.
9. In fact, China is JR’s biggest market.
10. Where there are shoppers visiting: burberry, Church’s, Costa and what they’re watching.
11. Yes. Downtown Abbey which draws in a reported a hundred and sixty million viewers in China.
12. You can see the strength of that relationship here in Briton too.
13. I think of Heathrow airport, Times water made stronger thanks to Chinese business people who invest here.
14. Our universities made greater thanks to a hundred thousands of Chinese students who study here.
15. And our country made better thanks to British Chinese people who made such a great contribution to our culture, communities, businesses, and public services.
16. As we celebrate new year, families will be coming together often travelling thousands of miles to do so.
17. The fireworks, the pa’rades, feasts would be spectacular.
18. So wherever you are. Let me wish you the very best health and happiness for this “the year of the sheep!
(新年快乐~)
