Seema Malhotra

Labour (Co-op) — Feltham and Heston

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 January 2026

Debate

Proposed Chinese Embassy

Contribution

I thank the hon. Member for his lesson in Greek mythology, most of which I am familiar with. It is important to have a serious debate about our relationship with China, and to continue to have a consistent and pragmatic approach to our engagement. I have already said that China is our third largest trading partner, but also all G7 nations engage with China economically and diplomatically, and it is important that we continue to do so.
