Free Trade agreement with China sounds like a potentially ruinous idea for British industry? We’ve always just struck trade agreements with these countries until now. E.g. we export petrol and medicines to China and import electrical gizmos. An FTA with the EU and the US (in that order) could make sense though. Australia’s a perfect trading partner in a lot of ways but it’s just too far away in a world that cares about reducing carbon footprints. |

On one hand, yeah. But on the other hand, an article floating around in the last few weeks pointed out that modern container shipping is really cost effective these days.
Apparently container ships have also been looking at modern/environment friendly approaches for a while now too (including big wind kites(?) I think). So, that's somewhat likely to further improve over time as well.
