The UK government’s aid to China has fallen rapidly but there is limited transparency over where it is still being spent, a watchdog has said.

According to a new report by the Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI), UK aid to China fell to approximately £48 million in 2021-22—down from £82 million in 2019—and is expected to continue to decline.
