[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7519821, member: 2119"] For me the ever growing reliance on the Chinese from everything from rail construction to nuclear power is probably the biggest strategic mistake of the last 40 years, but what else would you expect from the outsourcing subcontracting accountancy kids that run the government. I was myself involved in the transfer of power station technology to the Chinese. As engineers we questioned the wisdom of such a move as we were essentially hastening the end of our home industries but the edict came from on high and we were paid to do as we were told. The site where we worked, once a leading engineering and manufacturing establishment is now a shopping centre. With the right political will it could have been so much different but much is determined by the foibles of the governing class, not what’s good for the country. [/QUOTE]
