Comment on MP raises security fears over a Chinese firm's involvement in North Sea windfarm developments

In the end Beijing tries to influence not only a foreign country’s economy but also its public administration. (For example, the port of Sri Lanka, one of China’s BRI ‘partners’, now belongs to China, meaning that the small island has lost control of its allegedly most important asset.)

Similar to what they’re doing in Africa with rare earth mining. Control the mining and/or the trade of mined rare earths.
