China's investment spree in UK gave it access to military-grade technology, BBC told

China's investment in the UK granted access to military-grade technology, with billions of pounds funneled into British businesses. The investments were part of a strategy to position China as a leader in high-tech industries by 2025, leading to the transfer of cutting-edge technology and skills. Concerns have been raised over the potential use of UK technology for military purposes and the need to balance economic growth with national security when dealing with foreign investments, particularly from China.
