UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has been meeting with President Xi Jinping in Beijing, the first time a sitting British PM has visited China in eight years. Although a host of trade deals were announced, including visa free entry for UK travellers, there have been fewer agreements than expected from the trip.
Adam is joined in studio by BBC deputy economics editor, Darshini David to chat about what we know so far and China correspondent, Laura Bicker who explains how the visit has been received in China.
Chris Mason also phones in to share his experience of being on the road with the PM and how the visit has gone down with MPs back home.
