Chinese influence in big-business which is known to lobby government? And to get legislation passed?

2019-10-27 13:41:40 UTC  

....

2019-10-27 13:42:35 UTC  

companies lobby governments to help their businesses... not to help china in some way

2019-10-27 13:42:46 UTC  

Barclays bank is owned by China..

2019-10-27 13:43:02 UTC  

when you say "owned by China"...

2019-10-27 13:43:08 UTC  

you mean a chinese company?

2019-10-27 13:43:30 UTC  

Yes, with ties to the Chinese government as all large businesses do

2019-10-27 13:44:10 UTC  

and you think the tories are going to turn into communists?

2019-10-27 13:44:47 UTC  

No, I just think those businesses which have influence IN the government are going to get legislation changed, or dropped entirely, to benefit China.

*The exact thing we did during the times of Empire*

2019-10-27 13:45:12 UTC  

*The exact thing America does to other countries to gain influence there*

2019-10-27 13:45:24 UTC  

*The same thing the Soviets were doing in America (Peace movements)*

2019-10-27 13:46:07 UTC  

I mean, it's almost like opening up your economy to foreign influence is a bad thing...

2019-10-27 13:46:37 UTC  

Especially when that foreign entity has hostile intent towards your country and the capabilities to act on that opportunity you give them

2019-10-27 13:46:41 UTC  

🤔

2019-10-27 13:49:56 UTC  

I take that back, Barclays is not owned by China. But the Chinese share percentage is increasing steadily. @wacka

2019-10-27 13:52:08 UTC  

2017 total investment was at 47 Billion dollars

2019-10-27 13:52:57 UTC  

Elegender, you wouldn't understand @wacka

2019-10-27 13:52:58 UTC  

😉

2019-10-27 13:53:17 UTC  

47 billions dollars worth of buying out companies or?

2019-10-27 13:53:20 UTC  

Just generally

2019-10-27 13:54:26 UTC  

lol.. you cant copy from that web page

2019-10-27 13:54:37 UTC  

I know :/ @wacka

2019-10-27 13:54:40 UTC  

That web page is bizarre, it gives you a time limit or some shit

2019-10-27 13:55:32 UTC  

Investment is good

2019-10-27 13:55:39 UTC  

2.3B into energy, 3.4B into entertainment, 9.8B into finance, 1.19B into health, 13.7B into logistics, 6.3B into real estate.. And so on

2019-10-27 13:55:42 UTC  

But you don’t want other countries to just buy all your companies

2019-10-27 13:55:50 UTC  

Then where do the profits go?

2019-10-27 13:55:52 UTC  

As they're starting to do 🙂 @PureEvilPie

2019-10-27 13:56:31 UTC  

China is our friend guys! 🙂

2019-10-27 13:56:42 UTC  

Though China’s investments in the UK have been failing so far because they aren’t experienced

2019-10-27 13:56:47 UTC  

But they will learn eventually

2019-10-27 13:59:04 UTC  

Sounds powerful @wacka

2019-10-27 13:59:20 UTC  

They'll learn when we strip their assets from them @PureEvilPie

2019-10-27 13:59:21 UTC  

Sure.

2019-10-27 13:59:25 UTC  

@wacka What does that even mean?

2019-10-27 13:59:54 UTC  

astronaut used to be a profession... now anyone can be one!
