UK nationalizes Chinese-owned British Steel to protect nation’s steelmaking capacity
The UK government nationalized British Steel, owned by China’s Jingye Group, to prevent the closure of its blast furnaces and protect domestic steel production critical for construction and defense. The move aims to save 2,700 jobs and establish a sustainable steel sector, with an independent evaluation to assess compensation for Jingye Group.
