英国内阁办公室前部长：中国应该关心脱欧吗？(19)_英国内阁办公室前部长奥立弗．莱特文：

So my view is that actually， so far as the nature of the trading relationship is concerned， as we go forward， although it will be a direct relationship， a bilateral direct relationship with china instead of one done through the EU actually in substance， it‘s very likely to be very similar．

So I hate to disappoint you that after having flown some thousands of miles， overnight to come to address you and to talk about the effects of Brexit on the relationships that china has with the EU and with the UK， my main message to is， I don‘t think it will have very much effect on either of these things．

And finally， in that context， I should say that I think it‘s extremely likely that at the end of the whole Brexit process， the UK will end up by having negotiated with the EU a very deep free trade arrangement， which is very similar to the arrangement that it has as part of the EU single market．
