The design sector is a priority for Government. Through the Creative Industries Sector Deal, Government is working with industry to increase creative industry exports \u2013 including design \u2013 by 50% by 2023.<\/p>

Beyond this, DIT\u2019s Export Strategy sets out how we will support design businesses, and others, grow sustainably through exporting. This includes through initiatives such asthe GREAT Campaign, the Tradeshow Access Programme and financial support offered by UK Export Finance.<\/p>

On 23-24 August 2018, my Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade visited Beijing for the 13th<\/sup> UK-China Joint Economic and Trade Commission (JETCO), this was his 4th<\/sup> visit to China and he will visit again in November for the China International Import Expo (CIIE). During the JETCO, he had discussions with Co-Chair Commerce Minister Zhong Shan and Vice-Premier Hu Chunhua, China\u2019s top leader covering trade.<\/p> <\/p> On this visit, he met with ministerial level contacts from China Atomic Energy Authority, the State Radio and Television Administration and General Administration of Customs, securing market access for UK products using dairy ingredients sourced from outside the UK, worth £240m over five years. Additionally, he signed a protocol allowing the export of seed potatoes to China (the world\u2019s largest consumer of potatoes).<\/p> <\/p> Total trade in goods and services between the UK and China was £65.1bn in year to end 2018 Q2, a 1.2% increase from year to end 2017 Q2.<\/p> <\/p> In year to end 2018 Q2, UK exports to China amounted to £21.7bn (a 7.5% increase from year to end 2017 Q2) while UK imports from China were £43.4bn (a 1.7% decrease from year to end 2017 Q2).This means the UK reported a trade deficit with China of £21.7bn, compared to a trade deficit of £23.9bn in year to end 2017 Q2.<\/p>"}
