What you'll actually receive after fees
On supplier payments and trade with China, after a typical 1–4% provider margin, ¥1,000 CNY is worth roughly £105.60–£108.90 GBP in practice — so compare the final amount, not just the mid-market rate.
What moves the CNY/GBP rate
The Chinese yuan is managed by the People's Bank of China, which sets a daily reference rate and lets the yuan move within a narrow band — so it is not a free float. China's huge export trade, its FX reserves and US-China trade tensions are the main drivers. The other way round, £1 GBP buys about ¥9.09 CNY today.
