China has offered to open discussions on a post-Brexit free trade deal with Britain, British Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt said in Beijing on Monday.

Hunt, appointed earlier this month following his predecessor Boris Johnson's resignation, was speaking at a press briefing following talks with his Chinese counterparts.

China's relations with Britain will remain unchanged through Brexit, Premier Li Keqiang told British Prime Minister Theresa May in Beijing in January.
