More Britons in China

Since China’s opening up, increasing numbers of British people have made China their home. There are now many thousands of British people here. To celebrate and showcase their contribution and accomplishments, the British Embassy launches “Britons in China”. This feature will run for one year up to the beginning of the 2010 Shanghai Expo. People will be profiled each week on the British Embassy website www.ukinchina.fco.gov.uk, offering readers an inspiring insight into the lives of notable British people and their endeavours in China. Individuals will range from graphic designers to charity workers, authors to entrepreneurs, painting a colourful picture of the myriad of occupations undertaken by people today. Some have been here for decades, others are newer, but all have a story.
