Sir Christopher Chope, a Tory MP, told Times Radio that shutting down British Steel was “exactly what [Jingye] wanted to do”. He said: “They’re building a new steel production facility in China, and what they wanted to do was to use that production facility to supply the UK market. And indeed, this was an attempt at what I think is best described as industrial sabotage.”

I think we should apply that language to any company that is making attempts to offshore its production or making threats to that extend. They should be scrutinized as wanting to commit industrial sabotage no matter who owns them.
