It seems listening Gordy can't hear the screams in China, isn't worried about serious human rights abuses there and feels it's just fine for the UK to invest and indeed for the Chinese to buy up British businesses to no doubt prop ailing UK PLC up. Apparently vast tracts of the EU are very concerned about who owns what when it comes to their major companies but we don't see it that way. Clearly on our own we can't do very much about China's actions but is allowing them (or indeed the likes of Russia) to buy chunks of our strategic industries a good thing?
