正在中國進(jìn)行訪問的英國財(cái)政大臣喬治.奧斯本宣布英國將放寬對中國公民赴英的簽證限制。奧斯本想利用此次為期一周的訪問來提高中英貿(mào)易合作和吸引中國企業(yè)在英投資。請聽 Martin Patience 的報(bào)道：
In his speech at China's top university the chancellor said there should be no limits on the number of Chinese students and tourists able to visit Britain if they want to. He also stressed that there was no country in the West more open to Chinese investment than the UK.
The chancellor shared the stage at Peking University with London's mayor - Boris Johnson. Their high-profile visits are a sign of a diplomatic thaw between the two countries.
The chancellor's announcement to relax visa rules for Chinese nationals will be welcomed by British businesses. They've been calling on the government to ease restrictions as a way of encouraging more high-spending Chinese tourists to visit the UK.
