Countries preparing trade talks with the UK

[OwlHoot]

China laughs at Britain's hope to negotiate quick free trade deal following Brexit: Shanghaiist

As China's economy (unbelievably!) is rapidly heading for the rocks, before long they'll need every trade deal they can get to bolster their exports.

Their spokesmen won't be laughing so much then.

Because the worlds 5th largest economy isn't in that block anymore?
Because the EU's share of trade has been steadily falling?
Because they may get better terms with the UK without the other 27 countries vetoing it?

Look at exchange rates - UK is no longer 5th largest economy:

The World's Top 10 Economies | Investopedia

5. United Kingdom: The United Kingdom, with a $2.99 trillion GDP

6. France: France, the most visited country in the world, is the sixth largest economy with a nominal GDP of $2.83 trillion. I

7. Brazil: Brazil with its $2.24 trillion economy

8. Italy: Italy’s $2.13 trillion economy is the world’s eighth largest in terms of nominal GDP

We'd be lucky to be in top 10 by 2020.

If China can't sell to UK then shops will look like late USSR here.

It may have varied a little with exchange rates but that has been its place for a long time.

You could of course go to number 9.

One of the main brexit camp's point was that everyone will want to trade with world's firth largest economy Damn

[WTFH]

Not sure what you are grinning at...

China Daily reports an estimate doing the rounds is that it will require 500 British negotiators and 10 years before any such deal could materialize, suggesting that the economic case for a Leave vote was never as strong as its advocates had claimed

"6. France: France, the most visited country in the world, is the sixth largest economy with a nominal GDP of $2.83 trillion. I"

France is 5 now because GBP dropped so much to USD and we might see recession plus parity with USD by 2020 - so UK will be <2 trln.

Thought USA were putting us at 'the back of the queue'.

The queue is empty now we're not in the EU queue with 27 other nations trying to avoid drowning in their PIIGS sty.

They were right.... problem is that the world firth largest economy is now FRANCE.

The whining Brit hating little liberal speaks

Someone just doesn't like the facts, probably why they voted exit. Ignorance is bliss
