From the number of countries that China is participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, we can see that many countries have come to the venue, in addition to Russian President Putin's visit to China, which has attracted much attention, many national leaders have also come to China.
In order to better promote the Belt and Road Initiative, of course, China has done a lot of things, including sending a big gift to Serbia, but the UK can no longer be calm in the face of this situation. Britain sees other countries eating meat, even small countries like Serbia are treated so well, and it is very eager to restore friendly relations with China. So is it possible for relations between China and the UK to warm up?

China's big gift to Serbia
In the Belt and Road Summit held in China, of course, it wants to promote economic and trade exchanges with various countries. Many countries in the world have come from far away and are full of sincerity, and China naturally wants to return the favor and let people enjoy the benefits brought by the Belt and Road. Serbia, a country that is not valued in Europe, hitched a ride on the Belt and Road Initiative, and in the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck.
Britain before ignored it, but now Britain can't climb high. It all stems from China's gift to Serbia during the Belt and Road Summit.
Of course, this gift is not a big gift in the conventional sense, but a free trade agreement signed by the two countries. It is important to know that this agreement has a very extraordinary significance, not only indicating that Serbia has become China's free trade partner, but also the first agreement on free trade signed between China and Central and Eastern European countries.
After the implementation of this agreement, trade between the two countries will be easier than before. This is mainly reflected in the further expansion of the scope of tax exemption and the significant reduction of the amount of tax to be paid.
The reason why Serbia can get this big gift is, of course, because the trade volume between the two countries has been increasing since the cooperation, reaching more than 3.5 billion US dollars last year.
If a free trade agreement is signed according to such data, it will definitely be more improved than the previous data, which can better promote projects such as the Belt and Road Initiative for China, and also have a certain influence in the European region.
Serbia was in a better position to benefit from it, since Serbia had always wanted to join the International Trade Organization, but it was difficult to achieve it because its economy had not met the requirements.
However, after signing relevant agreements with China, it will definitely help this country better join the international trade organization, which is very good for both countries.
What did the UK do at this time?
You must know that Britain has always been on the side of the United States, and because of the attitude of the United States to China, Britain has also begun to do some unfriendly things to China, so the relationship between the two countries has also been greatly affected.
Perhaps seeing the big gift from China to Serbia, it made Britain a little unable to sit still. According to relevant reports, the British government particularly wants to resume bilateral dialogue between the two countries, and also wants to restore relations between the two countries through better trade cooperation.
It must be known that after the deterioration of Sino-British relations, it has directly had a very serious negative impact on the relations between the two countries, and the trade dialogue between the two countries has been stopped for a long time, all caused by the relatively tough unilateral policy of the United Kingdom towards China.
China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi once made a remark on the relationship between the two countries, saying that only by respecting each other can the two countries have a good development, which means that the relationship between the two countries depends entirely on the attitude of the United Kingdom.
If Britain can really lower its posture and show that it wants to get along with China, then it will certainly bring positive effects to the future development of the two countries, but if Britain is still as tough on China as before, then China will certainly not take the initiative to show friendship.
Why did the UK change its attitude?
Through a change of attitude through cause and effect, this situation can be seen that they seem to have known that being tough on China will not bring any benefit to the UK, but it will not cause much loss to China, after all, even if it does not cooperate with the UK, China can cooperate with other countries, and China has many friends in the world.
Britain will change its attitude, in addition to seeing China's big gift to Serbia, but also because the current situation of Britain is not particularly good, if it means being tough on China, then it will have a very big negative impact on Britain's future economic development.
Even if Britain especially wants to make good friends with the United States, it must also consider its own country's economic problems, not to mention that the British has changed its prime minister many times in terms of political situation, so the current Prime Minister Sunak is also particularly worried about his own situation, whether it is for his own position or for the future development of Britain, in the China policy should be adjusted in time.
Only by changing the attitude towards China may be able to make Britain have a better development, so it will lower its posture, believing that this is good for future cooperation between the two countries.
Epilogue:
From China's actions in meetings such as the Belt and Road, we can see that China is really working very hard to enable the country to have good development and to be able to drive many developing countries, so the number of countries participating in this meeting is particularly large.
I believe that the UK will not be able to sit still after seeing China's achievements in this meeting. In the future, more and more countries will see the benefits of cooperation with China, and it will also play a very positive role in the future China.
