    1. It would be a good idea to review the new embassy as well, let’s see how serious the Government is.

    2. Optimaldeath on

      How about ***all*** foreign investment?

      We’re well beyond a cooperative economic environment at this point and the corner-cutting, corrupt replacement is hardly suitable for essential infrastructure which has clearly been proven by China attempting to kill our steel industry completely.

    3. Slightly off topic but I do think we really need to start making a distinction between productive and unproductive foreign investment in general. There is a real argument for foreign companies like Nissan building a factory in Sunderland for example but I really struggle to see any tangible benefit of a foreign company/ state owning and profiteering off existing UK infrastructure which was built by the state or by British companies back in the day.
