These criticisms follow other recent government decisions to limit risk exposure to China, notably limiting Huawei’s involvement in Britain’s 5G network. Currently, China General Nuclear Power (CGN) is constructing a nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point in southwest England, along with French partner EDF, which is due to be finished in 2025. The partners are also waiting for approval to begin construction at a new plant along the Suffolk coast. CGN has invested over $4.9 billion in the UK’s nuclear industry. ♦️Australia Blocks Sale of Lion Dairy & Drinks to Mengniu Dairy
