　　Chinese President Xi Jinping has arrived in the UK at the start of a four-day state visit which UK PM David Cameron has said hails a "golden era" in ties between the two countries.
　　Mr Cameron's spokesman has said "nothing is off the table" when it comes to talks between the pair.
　　Earlier, the prime minister told MPs he would raise the issue of subsidised Chinese steel with his counterpart. Human rights and cyber attacks are also likely to be discussed.

　　Xi Jinping, China’s president, arrived in London last night for a state visit bathed in rhetoric about a “golden era” in China-UK relations but dogged by questions about the impact of Chinese dumping on domestic steel producers and human rights concerns.
　　David Cameron wants Mr Xi’s four-day visit to seal his claim that Britain is China’s number one global partner, highlighted by his decision to let Beijing build the next generation of British nuclear power stations.
　　But the prime minister has been forced to criticise the impact of dumping by Beijing on the crippled UK steel sector, while Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader, has promised to raise China’s human rights record with the president.
　　Tensions over Chinese dumping were further raised when it emerged that 1,700 jobs are under threat in the UK’s struggling steel industry as Caparo Industries, the company built by Lord Paul, the Labour peer, entered administration.

　　There is mounting pressure on David Cameron to discuss Chinese human rights violations in a “principled, forceful, and specific way” during this week’s state visit, as the Prime Minister’s official spokeswoman hits back at claims that ministers are “kowtowing” to Communist leaders.

　　The Prime Minister is being urged to raise the issue of the "dumping" of cheap steel with the Chinese president amid fears of fresh job losses in the industry.
　　Caparo is understood to be set to go into administration, although there is no indication how many jobs will be lost.
　　The president of China is not visiting the UK for a “debate” about human rights issues, China’s ambassador to the UK has said.
　　Liu Xiaoming said he did not think Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn would raise the issue of the country’s poor record at a state banquet hosted by the Queen.
　　“You think Labour Party will raise this issue at a state banquet? I don’t think so. I think the president is here for cooperation, for partnership. He’s not here for debate about human rights,” Mr Liu told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show.

　　China is rising as the US declines. Britain can’t ignore this reality
　　Who would have guessed just three years ago that the David Cameron government would be the author of the boldest change in British foreign policy since the second world war? That is exactly what is now unfolding.
　　The process began this year when the British government announced it would join a Chinese initiative to help fund Asia’s enormous infrastructural needs. The UK became the first non-Asian country to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), after which more than 30 other countries joined, including Germany and France.
　　The United States opposed the decision because it saw the AIIB as a threat to the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Britain has long been the US’s foreign policy shadow, so the decision to join the AIIB was the most significant act of independence since 1944, when John Maynard Keynes argued with America’s Dexter White at Bretton Woods over the new international financial order.
　　The underlying thinking behind the British decision has since become clear. This was no flash in the pan. The key mover is the chancellor, George Osborne. His approach is based on a recognition of the profound changes in the global economy caused by China’s rise. At the time of the last state visit to Britain by a Chinese president, that of Hu Jintao in 2005, the UK economy was still slightly larger than that of China: today China’s GDP, by the most conservative measure, is over three times greater. We are fast becoming a minnow by comparison.

　　Here’s Why Xi Jinping’s ‘Chinese Dream’ Differs Radically From the American Dream
　　by Jeffrey Wasserstrom, Chancellor's Professor of History at the University of California, Irvine; his latest book is 'China in the 21st Century'  One emphasizes the centrality of the state in improving people's lives—the other mostly leaves the state out of the equation
　　When China’s leader, Xi Jinping, visited the U.S. in late September, he gave a speech to a VIP business crowd in Seattle in which he repeated his favorite trope, the “Chinese Dream,” and claimed that it paralleled the American Dream. That may have helped his audience identify with him. But the truth is that the Chinese Dream, in Xi’s conceptualization, differs from many others, including the American one.
　　Xi’s Chinese Dream is protean. He associates it with different things at different times in different places. At its core, though, is a vision of national rejuvenation. Xi makes no secret of wanting to see China assume a position of international centrality, as well as to see it modernize while revering its classical traditions.
　　He is deeply concerned with presenting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as completing, under his watch, a surge to global prominence and strength that had its roots in the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 under Mao Zedong, then stalled, only to undergo a rebirth 30 years later under Deng Xiaoping. In the story the CCP tells, which is partly rooted in facts but given hyperbolic and nationalistic twists, from the 1840s to the 1940s China experienced a century of humiliation, the memory of which still stings and should serve as a reminder to all of what should never happen again.
　　As textbooks, newscasts, speeches and documentary films reiterate, in those decades, China was laid low. Once independent, it was bullied by other countries. Once rich, it became poor. Once a place that Western thinkers like Voltaire admired for its inventions and ideas, it became a place that forgot its traditions and only sought answers in foreign creeds.
