When Xi Jinping, China’s president, arrives in the UK late on Monday, he will be embarking upon what promises to be the most important diplomatic visit to Britain in several years. A strenuously lavish welcome is planned; he will stay in Buckingham Palace, ride in a royal carriage, address some 600 MPs in a rare speech to both houses of parliament and be escorted to Manchester by David Cameron, the prime minister. Multibillion pound Chinese investment plans are set to be trumpeted as both sides hail a new “golden era” or “golden decade” in bilateral ties.
