Here are some of the key questions regarding the Sino-British relationship after the Hinkley Point delay. Why does Hinkley Point need Chinese investment? Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers were both bought by Chinese investors, while West Bromwich Albion is being sold to a Chinese investment group. A third runway at Heathrow would also involve Chinese investment, because 10% of Heathrow Holdings is owned by CIC. The US has been equally mistrustful of Chinese investment, largely due to fears of the potential for cyberespionage.
