MPs launch inquiry into potential Chinese asset stripping of UK firms

An emergency Commons inquiry into potential Chinese asset-stripping of UK hi-tech firms has been launched following an aborted Chinese boardroom takeover of Imagination Technologies, a Hertfordshire-based chip designer at the cutting edge of AI and communications technology.

soshongkongers We all should be asking if China's really a goof place to do business

Just bear in mind that evil CCP is completely untrustworthy! Take action before it’s too late!

Wow, so many anti-china bots out this morning

AmadeusWong1 Pls don’t trust any enterprises fr CCP and in depth investigation should be taken to the background behind. MakeChinaPay

work with demons, you die faster, UK'd better learn who the demon is!! ChineseVirus

Guarantee its happening Guaranteed you did it to Yourselves In some roundabout way Consult spiritual You ninnies

Don’t trust China. Just recall how the world has been rocked by the CCPVirus

CCP is infiltrating the entire world with her dirty money and endless lies. Never too late to start BoycottChina

We all know where it came from, why it came out of. You will know all countries top leaders faced to CCPVirus. That’s a really creepy coincidence. It’s time to clarify the relationship with China. CCP_is_terrorist CCPLiedPeopleDied

Say no to the totalitarianism

CCP tries to fully dominate the world by infiltration of bussinesses and world organisation, stealing technology and intellectual rights . Let's stand up together to stop this Evil Empire !!

Yes, it's related to national security.

UK should now realise China is the biggest enemy of free world ever in history, plus it should keep the promise made to Hong Kong people. Just keep this devil away please. ChineseVirus

CCP extend power to UK over 30 years. Stop evil CCP. AntiChinazi CCPChina

Yes! Sanction must be done to China

CCP is achieving its ultimate goal with infiltration, and it has already success in countries like UK, and global organizations like UN and WHO

This is good news. This is related to national security.

CCP infiltrates with immigrants and economic involvement to influence other nations, UK is not alone

Necessary act indeed.

China is taking UK advantage, stop reliance on China economy

China always want to make their 'China Dream' and use different dirty works like spend the money to funding international NGO to control them.

Let’s do it

At what point was selling the country off to Chinese govt backed capital a good idea?

'The company’s chief executive, Ron Black, appointed two years ago, tendered his resignation earlier this week and complained in a letter that China Reform’s promises to be a passive investor had not been kept.' Of course the Chinese businessmen are not to be trusted..

Threats of China infiltrates different aspects, industries, religions, constituencies, Art and more... in different countries' enterprises and academics. Recognise them, stop them and protect your ppl. Investment from China is harmful to security.

In 2010 it was estimated that UK firms had an untapped wealth of £700 billion cash.The model of business for them to put their hands out for more cash from the state before they invest. If these people won't invest in UK business with out a bung, there is not much can be done

It likes medical product, china they buy all of your medical product before chinavirus come, after they use it to control you

Didn’t the Tories do most of the asset stripping in the 80s when they sold if British Telecom, British Gas, British Electric and the water boards. OwnIt

China knows how to take advantage of the politics of greed

😳

I presume they’re already looking at this in Australia too. Eg Chinese taking profits from sales of property and other stuff. At least I hope they are looking into it.

While they are doing that....reckon they should be looking at USA companies and UK investors too....see a lot of people making money not least UK

about time countries would realise that they have to make own stuff instead of supplying everything from china. Only problem - massive overhaul of production industry, so massive expenses into facilities and workforce. On positive - increase in employment.

Potential! hahahahahahaha...not funny..now have a look at American money while you are at it.
