BEIJING- China said on Thursday it welcomed Britain's decision to approve the construction of a part Chinese-invested nuclear plant at Hinkley Point in southern England.
China hopes that with the hard work of China, Britain and France, Hinkley Point and other subsequent nuclear cooperation projects can proceed smoothly as fast as possible, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
British Prime Minister Theresa May's government said it would proceed with the Hinkley Point C project, approving French utility firm EDF's plan to build Britain's first new nuclear reactor in decades, backed by $8 billion of Chinese cash.
