Challenges persist for Chinese firms in UK

Wrinkles in infrastructure sector investment need to be ironed out

Significant challenges still exist for Chinese investment into the United Kingdom's infrastructure sector, according to Richard Laudy, head of infrastructure at international law firm Pinsent Masons.

The challenges relate to both Chinese companies' understanding of the UK bidding process and the UK government's long-term funding commitment to infrastructure projects which would guarantee Chinese investors' returns on investment, Laudy said.
