The South West saw the biggest annual rise in trade with China in the last quarter of 2021 compared to the rest of the UK, new research has found.
The China Britain Business Council (CBBC), an organisation that seeks to promote trade between the two nations, said goods worth £269m were exported from the region to the Asian country.
This reflected a 57% increase from the same period in 2020, and 78% up on pre-pandemic levels in 2019.
