Description
On July 6, a ceremony was held in Beijing to mark the 70th anniversary of what's known as the "Icebreaking Mission" by a group of British business people to China. In July of 1953, Jack Perry led 15 representatives from British companies, on the first ever such trip by a major Western country to the People's Republic of China after it was founded in 1949. The delegation signed deals worth 30 million pounds with China. What's the lasting impact of this "Icebreaking Mission"? What's the current status of China-UK relations? Do we need more such missions? In this special edition of The Point, CGTN host Liu Xin sits down with Jack Perry's son, Stephen Perry, to explore more.
