Concerns about Chinese Government buying shares in UK companies
The Sunday Times says companies from China own £135 billion in UK. They have shares in Thames Water, the power companies, Heathrow Airport.  The worry is that Chinese Government can get information from the companies.  They also bought shares in Manchester City, Wolverhampton football and 17 private schools.  This happened because David Cameron the Prime Minister wanted to work closely with the Chinese.  Remember he went to the pub with President Xi.  Great pals
