He is actually doing pretty well there, isn't he? He is. Yeah, we weren't quite expecting that
0:08
That's right. So, Tom, I'm playing at the British Embassy in Beijing with Wu Haiya, who is the world number 16 champion of table tennis
0:19
We're at an event here for the two. It's changing over now
0:24
Another different female player now. They're both taking me on. taking me on, but I have this one for GB News. This is part of the outreach by Sir
0:32
Keir Starmer to talk more to the US. That was quite aggressive, that shot. This is part
0:38
of the outreach by Sir Keir Starmer to try and speak more to China and get them to deal
0:44
with the UK as a trading partner. They have talked today about visas and they have talked
0:51
about two of them at the same time. They are both world champions, but I have done my best GB News. We are now at the event outside here, the British residents, very important
1:02
economy, global economy, of course, China, 300,000 jobs in the UK. Concerns about
1:08
security, of course, but this government is pursuing an eyes wide open approach
1:12
towards dealing with China rather than worrying about security Look at that Oh that my slam Here we go Oh hello Hope you saw that live on GB News
1:25
Amazing slam there. OK, I'm ready, I'm ready. I'm going to take it on. We lost the ball. The ball there behind the..
1:32
There's no more balls. There's a ball there behind the... Thank you, Steve. Here we go. So, yeah, it's a big deal, Ping Pong
1:38
ping-pong. Whiff-waff is one of the big sporting exports from China, of course, and it's known
1:43
as ping-pong here. But it's an important way that the Chinese economy can try and deal
1:50
more with the UK economy. But of course, concerns about security, but equally, I think it's
1:54
part of this outreach by Sir Keir Starmer's government. He was here moments ago, actually
1:59
He didn't. I said to him, do I have a game, Prime Minister? He said no. So he didn't want
2:03
to play but because I work for GB News nothing stops me. Christopher Hope, who knew you had
2:11
such hidden talents that against world champion ping pong players Christopher Hope our very
2:18
own British champion. Here they are, these are my friends here. Thank you very much
2:24
These are the guys here, these are the under 16 champions and I beat them in one of my
2:28
games but previously these guys are better than me. You are live on TV news and it is
2:35
great to see you here
