YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Chinese embassy has urged the UK to "act with fairness" after MPs voted to take control of British Steel.
The embassy said it was "following closely the developments of British Steel", which is still owned by Chinese company Jingye but is likely to be privatised.
Officials said: "We have urged the British side to act in accordance with the principles of fairness, impartiality and non-discrimination and to make sure the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese company be protected.
"It is an objective fact that British steel companies have generally encountered difficulties in recent years.
"It is hoped that the British government will actively seek negotiation with the relevant Chinese company to find a solution acceptable to all parties."
It comes as British Steel staff, civil servants and even different companies are spending Monday attempting to avert the permanent shutdown of Britain's last primary steelmaking plant.
Iain Dale is joined by China expert Isabel Hilton and Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China's Luke de Pulford to discuss.
