The known is leaving our closest and largest market

And trading partner

also btw, the UK has had twice the investment of france and germany combined in 2018

That is never a good thing

I wouldn't say that it's *known*, I'd say expected.

Source for that

There's quite a lot that can happen yet

And there, is part of the problem.

or not twice.. just more https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-holds-more-foreign-investment-than-germany-and-france-combined

"UK holds more foreign investment than Germany and France combined"

>China

This is bad. @wacka

We don't want more of this.

so why aint china investing in other parts of the EU?

Because they aint letting them in as much as the Tories did

The Tories swung open the door for them, like the traitors they are.

yeah... what traitors... letting money flood into the country...

From a country that seeks to benefit from the influence it gains in our government from said money?

Yes.. Traitors.

what gains in the government?

are you accusing people of being bribed?

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

....

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

Barclays bank is owned by China..

when you say "owned by China"...

you mean a chinese company?

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

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

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*

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

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

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

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

🤔

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