The British government’s minister for investment says political tensions between Beijing and Washington do not mean the UK is closed to Chinese money. While the geopolitical picture remains fraught, Dominic Johnson said he is still looking to attract Chinese investors, particularly electric vehicle manufacturers. “I welcome strong business collaboration between the UK and China,” Johnson said on the sidelines of the UK’s Global Investment Summit in London. “China has a very powerful electric car industry. I’d much rather they made great cars in the UK that we could then capitalise from and export,” noting one of his ambitions is “to attract a Chinese car manufacturer”.
