Will Andy Burnham shake up the UK’s China policy if he becomes prime minister?

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s likely replacement could continue the outgoing leader’s pragmatic approach towards China, though addressing economic challenges at home would remain the most immediate priority, observers say.Clearing the way for the selection of the UK’s seventh Prime Minister in a decade, Starmer announced on Monday his intention to step down, succumbing to mounting pressure within his Labour Party as his popularity dwindled.Shortly after Starmer’s resignation, Andy Burnham confirmed he would run for Labour leader after returning to Parliament through a landslide by-election victory last week. Until that election, he had served as mayor of Greater Manchester since 2017.
