I don't want a Chinese company to own 1 billion pounds of energy infrastructure in Scotland.

couldnt you do the same thing china does? force them to have a local partner that ends up owning it?

Because?...

This would have been a factory to produce wind turbines, which would have benefited the country. And I thought net-zero was a priority.

Essentially all solar panels are made in China. All our car factories are foreign-owned, and even nuclear power plants are.

		Because? I just said. I'd rather _China_ don't own 1 billion pounds of our country's energy infrastructure. Are you being coy or are you seriously that naive? Utterly perplexed you need more of an explanation. And all those things you mentioned. I'd rather they were all home-grown but I can live with the French having a chunk of our Nuclear - because I like the French.
