Nigel Farage says Chinese firms should have no role in UK infrastructure after ministers took control of British Steel. The government acted over the weekend amid fears its Chinese owner planned to shut Scunthorpe’s furnaces. Farage said China is “not a friend of ours” and warned the UK must “find alternatives” even if it means less investment. Report by Covellm.

00:00The very thought the government could even contemplate, another Chinese owner of British
00:05steel is truly dreadful. There is no such thing as a private company in China. They're
00:11all effectively under the control of the Chinese Communist Party. Clearly, the government
00:16have learnt nothing if they're prepared to say this. I'd go further. I wouldn't have
00:20the China in our nuclear program anywhere near our telecoms or anything else. They are
00:25not our friends.
