And since we left the EU, we have done trade deals with India, with the US, with Korea.
And obviously, you would lose some of the benefits of those trade deals if you were to re-enter a customs union.
Things like the benefits of the deal we did with the US for our automotive sector.
The deal that we have with India is better than the deal that any other country has with
India.
So I think you have to consider all of these things in the round.
I don't think we need to return to the customs union to seize greater benefits of free and fair trade.
And we are working piece by piece, but with a strategic goal in mind, which is to make it easier for British businesses to sell into European markets and for European businesses to sell into British markets.
And when the barriers to trade in other markets are going up,
We want to create more opportunities for our businesses to trade with other countries around the world.
Yeah.

Obviously, China already has an embassy in London.
This will be a new embassy, a move.
But, you know...
If you just sort of take a step back, Britain has embassies in almost every country around the world and almost every country in the world has an embassy in London.
They are absolutely vital for diplomatic relations and also for resolving tensions.
And so it is right that China has an embassy in London in the same way that it's important and right that the UK has an embassy here.
in Beijing and I was at our embassy in Beijing just last January when we restarted the economic and financial dialogue with China.
It was the first time that we'd had an economic and financial dialogue between our countries for six years and whilst other countries had been securing benefits for their financial services sectors in growing markets in China, we refused to engage and that was the wrong thing to do.
