The UK is the top destination for Chinese investment in Europe with billions being spent in the country. China currently invests £90 billion into companies in the FTSE 100. But as the British government steps in to take control of the Chinese-owned British Steel plant in Scunthorpe, national security concerns are making headlines. As China tries to assert global influence following its trade war with the US, should we be wary of its investments? Joining Enda Brady for this discussion: Matthew Agarwala, Economist and Professor of Sustainable Finance at the University of Sussex, Linlin Liang, Director of Communication and Research at the CCCEU and Yukteshwar Kumar, Senior Lecturer in Politics, Languages and International Studies. Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by Enda Brady, it's about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you.
