China's leader Xi Jinping is expected to put the seal on its contribution to what will be the first United Kingdom nuclear power plant to be built in a generation. The plant could be opened by 2025 at Hinkley Point, in Somerset, with China likely to cover about 30% of the cost. Read full article

    Some say this investment in the power stations is a big mistake,

    investment is one thing, selling our national interests is suicidal so some say,

    China is using the net to attack us everyday,

    are we mad, stupid or just plain nuts,

    or have I got it all wrong...

    I hear ya brit. They are building Boston's new city trains. They are opening a plant in Springfield Mass and hiring like a few hundred Americans who are training in China for a year. That was the one stipulation they had to hire ALL Americans.

    On one hand we are “welcoming” Chinese investment while the Chinese are dumping steel on the world market causing the terminal collapse of the British steel industry. I suppose that these redundant men will either get new jobs in call centres, serving burgers OR join the ranks of the unemployed ” benefit scroungers.
    Moving south is not an option as they could not afford to buy or rent a house.
    Is this part of the great Conservative recovery policy ?

    While Russia pacify the Middle East, China dominates the original Saxon.

    It is all good, if for no other reason than that it will really annoy the whore from La Plata aka Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

    Only last year she was claiming the Chinese were her staunch allies against the British .. but ever since then the Chinese have been pulling money out of Argentina like it is going out of fashion (which it is, as fast s the Argentinian economy and currency sinks like a lead weight) .. and now this latest snub, which the Chinese hail as a “golden era” in Anglo-Chinese relations (and 4 times more investment in the UK, in a single day, than their total ever investments in Argentina) will really get the batty old whore's blood boiling.

    I presume that you are actually Russian. Why else do you keep posting youtube videos from Russian sources. The last one you posted was entirely in spoken Russian and you understand it?
    ИГИЛ СИРИЯ РОССИЯ 15.10.2015 БОЕВИКИ ИГИЛ В ПАНИКЕ БЕГУТ ИЗ СИРИИ. СВОДКА БОЕВЫХ ДЕЙСТВИЙ ЗА НЕДЕЛЮ.

    As you obviously understand the language would you please supply a translation.

    4 The “original Saxon” that'll be Germany then?
    And it's not just China that's dumping steel, the problem is the beaurocratic and inefficient EU that finds it impossible to act in the best interests of its member states.

    Russia pacifying the Middle East ? Why are millions of Syrians risking their lives to get away from Assad's murdering forces now backed by Russia ?

    China dominates the original SAXONS.? An absolutely meaningless phrase but again it's up to your typical level of comment.

    What I am saying is that Russia is to solve all the shit that US made to arm the Syrian rebels which is actually the same as the ISIS.

    And soon the region will be pacified.

    I'm learning the languages of Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. They are very similar. But I have not yet mastered completely so that I can not translate texts safely.

    Unlike the English, the Russian phonetics is pleasant to the ears.

    Oh jump down,
    Turn around,
    Pick a bushel of soybean
    Oh jump down,
    turn around
    pick those bushels a day
    OOOOOOOOOoohhhhh man we can pick a lot O soybean
    OOOOOOOOooooohhh man we can pick a lot O day.....for the Chin

    Me and my wife can pick O lot of soybean
    Me and my wife gonna pick O lot a day
    Me and my wife can pick O lot of soybean
    Me and my wife can pick O lot a day

    BTW as one whose family arrived and escaped for Russia your fucking moron tobi, Russian language is sounds like the noises made when one flushes their colon. Oh and Russians are white mestizo boi.

    And if I tell do you that I'm a black from Mozambique?

    And if I tell do you that I am an Indian from southern Pará?

    And if I tell you I'm a Russian wanting to fuck you?

    You chose the third option. You better look for Indian Chile (Chilíndio).

    WOW

    They are not dealing with Argentina here, the Chinese are interested in our financial markets, creativity and brains (Graphine), not our cattle! We have been around a long time and can look after ourselves, we are the worlds ultimate pragmatists after all.
    I personally am far happier dealing with the Chinese than the EU.

    I am quite sure that Brussels are watching very carefully and taking note that we are more than capable of trading globally and attracting massive investment without the need to be shackled to the EU.

    I am quite proud that the Chinese are very interested in my home city of Manchester and the president was very specific about wanting to come here over and above anywhere else in the UK, presumably because we have the largest Chinese population outside London and they are very welcome here.

    Wǒ hěn gāoxìng rènshi nǐ. President Xi
