Chinese PM to meet Brown
Gordon Brown and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao are meeting later to discuss ways of tackling the economic downturn and boost trade. After the Downing Street talks, Mr Wen will meet business leaders. The first two days of Mr Wen's visit were marred by noisy protests over human rights abuses in China and Tibet. Five men were arrested for public order offences outside the Chinese Embassy near London's Regent Park on Sunday. Supporters also turned out to greet him as he toured Chinatown in the capital and attended a dinner at the Natural History Museum. Mr Wen met David Cameron for 45 minutes on Sunday, discussing topics including the economic crisis and combating climate change. The Tory leader also raised human rights issues and stressed the need for "greater participation" in China's political process. Along with his three-day trip to the UK, Mr Wen is visiting Germany, Spain, and Brussels.
