What else could we outsource to China?

Potholes, most of ours were ‘repaired’ but the holes have reopened and are twice as deep as they were before.

Maybe they could also bring back the many local Railway Stations that were closed after Mr Beechings report, they could do it on their way up North with HS2, join it all up as they go along.

Buses. The very few we have are sparse, irregular and, when they do turn up, they're filthy.

Might as well go the whole hog - let them do passports, taxes, electoral rolls, NHS, education, local government - everything that makes us an independent country. Only one small administrative step then to becoming a minor cog in China's wheel.
Taking control? What of?

I think that Hinkley Point nuclear power station in Somerset, currently the largest building project in Europe, is funded by the Chinese.

Goodness me, Elegran! Even the EU didn't control all that lot?

I'd forgotten that varian.

Hinckley Point is not doing too well in financial terms - costs escalating, time - taking way too long , doubt it will ever work etc etc. Not a good example of Chinese co operation and the plant itself is for EDF.

Maisie If Boris is ready to have the NHS run for a profit by commercial interests far to our west, he won't be phased by handing all our infrastructure to a nation far to the east. He who pulls the strings of the puppet calls the tune, and sooner or later we would become a satellite of one or other of them.

Criminal justice. Taken to the killing fields and bullet through the heart to be paid for by the convicted person’s family. Three cheers for China

Finish building the Royal ( new hospital ) in Liverpool. They built one in under two weeks ! They've been over two years scratching their behinds here.

seems to be some double standards from Boris and co. (I know thats unheard of..lol)There was outrage when Nicola Sturgeon spoke to the chinese about Scotrail amongst other business .Now its just fine...as long as its WM who are doing the deed !

Oopsadaisy I would like to go one better and go the whole hog, redoing every road and pavement in Britain but not with sub standard material which starts to break down after the first rainfall.

Our prison service- we would have fewer inmates and no TVs in each cell. 30 years would mean that, not out after 10 years because the cell is required.

I'm not clear how making prisoners serve their full term would lead to fewer inmates

MaisieD this would be after SirChenJin's comment.

The Chinese could solve that one I'm sure MaizieD. Disappeared???

trisher little or no paperwork when that happens.

I don't know which is more scary, the virus or a Chinese hospital built in a fortnight in an earthquake region.

Charleygirl5 Win. win situation

Got it now, Charleygirl

I should have re-read the thread...

Chinese TV streamed the building of the hospital 24 hours a day. It was a massive propaganda exercise.
