you make fair points sixian, but it still has not stopped Cameron and the lib-dem coalition going pot in hand to the Chinese has it not? And not raising the usual democracy/human rights issue like they are usually prone to do? No, no, this time no mention of politics, too much at stake, the UK is on it's arse, and the way it is going the chinese will have the keys to our nuclear power and building our high speed rail 2 project. If we piss them off, once they control our electricity, then what?
