We must not “pitchfork away” every Chinese investment, says UK PM
LONDON (Reuters) – Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday he did not want to drive Chinese investment away from Britain because of “anti-China spirit”, when asked whether the sale of a semiconductor producer would go ahead to Chinese-owned Nexperia.
“I want to make a very, very important point because … I do not want us, and I do not want anti-China spirit to lead to us trying to pitchfork away … every investment from China into this country,” he told a parliamentary committee.
