China critical of British nationalization of British Steel and announces protection of its companies

The UK government has nationalized the steel company British Steel, which was previously owned by the Chinese steel firm Jingye. The move was justified under the grounds of national interest and security. In response, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed concern over the treatment of Chinese investors and called for a solution acceptable to both parties, including compensation for losses incurred by Jingye. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce criticized the UK decision as undermining legitimate rights and interests of Jingye, stating that the UK should uphold international rules and treat Chinese companies fairly. The UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized that the nationalization aims to preserve the steel industry on the island, protect jobs, and ensure future steel production.
