China News Service, November 28, reported that the time limit for the negotiation of a post-Brexit trade agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Union is approaching, but negotiations on a number of important issues are still deadlocked.
However, on the 27th local time, British chief negotiator Frost said that an agreement is still possible.
On January 29, local time, the European Parliament approved the "Brexit" agreement.
The picture shows the parliamentarians holding high the banner of "Forever Unity" after the voting.

According to reports, earlier in the day, Barnier, the EU’s chief negotiator, ended self-isolation.
He stated that he will return to London to restart face-to-face negotiations with Frost.
Earlier, one of Barnier's team was diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia.
"Major differences still exist." Barnier said.
At present, the two sides are still unable to reach agreement on the three main issues of fisheries, state aid and dispute settlement.
Frost subsequently issued a statement saying, "Time is running out, but an agreement may still be reached. I will continue to negotiate until there is clearly no agreement."
At present, only five weeks before the end of the transitional period for Brexit, the UK and the EU are working to reach a trade agreement to prevent the five-year Brexit from ending in chaos.
