Wanda says it will invest up to £1.5 billion in the first three projects, with IHG targeting revenue of at least than £300 million – another tangible example of benefits from the UK-China global partnership. Trade and investment between the UK and China has hit historic highs with up to £40 billion in deals signed during President Xi’s recent State Visit to the UK.

The UK enjoys a global reputation for a high quality medical system and service. UK expertise is sought-after by Chinese companies seeking commercial healthcare partnerships from medical training to hospital operation, medical investment and specific disease treatment.

UK Foreign Secretary, Philip Hammond said:

“I’m very pleased to witness this very significant agreement. It highlights the UK’s leading position to meet growing demand for healthcare cooperation in China and as a partner of choice in a range of sectors. Our strong bilateral relationship positions us well for collaboration in a range of fields as we pursue our global strategic partnership.”
