Scotland can tap into strong trading links with China in taking forward its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, says a British business association leader, as new data suggests that up to 10,000 jobs in the nation are supported by ties with the world s second-largest economy.
Matthew Rous is chief executive of the China-Britain Business Council, which is also known as the CBBC; a leading organization in the promotion of trade and investment between the two nations.
He said: Nations across the world are grappling with the economic impact of COVID-19 and Scotland is in no way alone in having lost exports and jobs to this once-in-a-century catastrophe.

Jill Perry, Allerdale & Copeland Green Party It’s hard to remember now, but 2020 started with rampant wildfires in Australia that led to 479 deaths from fire and smoke inhalation, and 3,500 homes destroyed. Joe Biden’s commitment to climate action and rejoining the Paris Agreement, China’s pledge to reach carbon neutrality before 2060 and ensure its greenhouse gas emissions peak in the next decade, the EU’s pledge to cut emissions by 55% by 2030, and the UK Government pledge to cut emissions by 68% by 2030 are all very welcome, but none of this is enough. We were hoping for a 75% cut, as the science suggests is necessary. Zero Carbon Cumbria has a target of 2037 to reach net zero.
