Jeremy Hunt accidentally referred to his Chinese wife as Japanese today in a bizarre gaffe on his debut as Foreign Secretary in Beijing. Mr Hunt immediately corrected his 'terrible' error as he attempted to talk up his family's links with China at the start of the crucial meeting. The visit to China is the new Foreign Secretary's first high profile outing since his sudden promotion earlier this month to replace Boris Johnson. Mr Hunt has been married to Lucia since 2009 and the couple have three children. Mrs Hunt was born in Xi'an, the capital of China's Shaanxi province. Talks focused on trade and security.
