Let's move to the Shanghai-London Stock Connect now. The program opened for trading on Monday, beginning a new chapter in bilateral trade relations. It marks a new step in China's capital market opening up. CGTN'S Richard Bestic has more from London.

The Stock Connect project is being hailed in British financial circles as ground-breaking. It allows foreign companies to list on the Chinese mainland and Chinese companies to expand overseas. Unlike the Hong Kong Shanghai version, it's a first according to the UK's finance minister.

PHILIP HAMMOND UK CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER "Well we've been negotiating this Shanghai-London Stock Connect for four years now so this is a deep piece of infrastructure change. It's very important to the growing connectivity of financial markets and it recognises the reality that over the next decades China is going to become a vitally important investment market."

The project is still to evolve. Shanghai has a 10 per cent limit on trading for example, while in the UK's financial centre, the City of London, there's no upper limit.

RICHARD BESTIC LONDON "It has been a busy time for Sino-UK financial relations. Alongside that Stock Connect, there's also been the 10th Annual Economic China. And then, of course, there was the launch of a very special car."

It's a new all electric van from the London Electric Vehicle Company, LEVC, owned by China's Geely motor manufacturers. A tangible example of Sino-UK economic co-operation, according to the boss.

JOERG HOFFMAN CHIEF EXECUTIVE, LONDON ELECTRIC VEHICLE COMPANY "This car I have to say was 100 per cent developed and engineered here in the UK. But for future products we have a very close engineering collaboration between our colleagues in China from Geely and here in the UK and what you'll see in the future will expand our model range with cars that have been developed by Geely engineers and by our UK engineers."

The company already produces an electric version of the UK capital's iconic black cab, the latest venture playing into London's electric revolution - a target to be emissions free in a decade.

RICHARD BESTIC LONDON "This new electric van is a mark of the financial investment by China into Britain at a time of Brexit uncertainty. A way of saying, if you like, that the economic and financial dialogue between the two countries is only accelerating. RB CGTN London."
