In and Out: The Beijing restaurant where Keir Starmer became a culinary diplomat
Keir Starmer's January visit to In and Out restaurant in Beijing has made the UK prime minister unexpectedly popular in China, with the restaurant fully booked since his dinner and diners ordering from a specially printed 'prime minister's menu'. The Yunnan cuisine restaurant where Starmer dined during the first UK PM visit to China since 2018 has seen a surge in customers curious about the British leader's food choices, in contrast to domestic criticism he faced for pursuing closer ties with Beijing.
