SINA stock news Beijing 14th United Kingdom Broadcasting Corporation, United Kingdom media attention in the United Kingdom at Hinkley point nuclear power project, Beijing secretly preparing to rescue troubled nuclear power project.
The times and the Guardian reported that the United Kingdom Chancellor of the Exchequer Osborne father-in-law, United Kingdom Lord Hoover, a former Energy Minister in the House of Lords, said, if the original plans to lead this project of France energy company EDF turn back when going into battle, China has another option to bypass the EDF directly in the United Kingdom new construction of Hinkley point nuclear power reactors.
Lord quoted Hoover said, China may directly at Hinkley point to build two small reactors, engineering time than France EDF shorter.
Hinkley point c nuclear power projects planned will provide United Kingdom 7% of power, but the original lead method for China's participation in the project of EDF company recently announced, the total investment of the project will rise from ￡ 18 billion to 21 billion pounds, 16% higher than the amount originally in October last year its commitment. This project became the most expensive nuclear power plant ever.
In addition, EDF announced the postponement of the completion of the first phase of the project than originally promised for 10 years, that could not be completed by 2027.
After the release of this news, United States rating firm Moody's said, as Hinkley point nuclear power project risk increased, EDF company have been downgraded to "negative". EDF shares fell, while many private shareholders against the company in the company of the United Kingdom nuclear power projects.
All parties, including China, are questioning France EDF will give United Kingdom Hinkley point nuclear power station project.
But bypass EDF in China United Kingdom construction of Hinkley point nuclear power station is also faced with many problems and challenges, including: the original used in the plan, already through United Kingdom approve France nuclear power units will not be able to use China instead of using domestic "Hualong first" units have not been through the United Kingdom Department of nuclear power safety approvals, this process takes 3 years to 5 years.
In addition, some United Kingdom army greatly worried China and intelligence services in the United Kingdom built nuclear power could cause a major national security risk and technology issues.
European Parliament down China's export ambitions
The Financial Times reported that the European Parliament adopted a resolution that China still does not have a "market economy" status, and there is no reason to relax anti-dumping rules against Chinese products.
546 members of MEPs in favour of this resolution, only 28 votes against and 77 abstentions.
No market economy status, the European Union can be easily found to be lower than the market price of China imposing retaliatory tariffs.
China previously said, in accordance with the rules of the World Trade Organization, the country will be at the end of this year in the global scope automatically receive market economy status, which is one of China's most coveted political goals. Including the United Kingdom Government and the European Commission supported this claim.
But the recent outbreak of the European steel industry crisis has sharpened the concerned parties to ease concerns about tariff, European companies said they were cheap products from unfair Chinese steel mills pressed out of breath.
In Europe amid rising hostility on granting China market economy status, global sentiment against the relaxed trade barriers have emerged; Germany public opinion turned sharply against the United States reached a landmark trade agreement and United States presidential election also filled with exceptionally strong protectionist rhetoric.
The European Parliament on Thursday (12th), voting and laws are not binding, but it sends a signal to the European Commission, which must submit on the matter this year, and then by the European Parliament vote on whether to approve.
外媒：中国将拯救英国核电站，在英国造两个核反应堆 - 核电站,核反应堆 - IT资讯
英国媒体关注在英国欣克利角核电项目中，北京秘密准备拯救陷入困境的这个核电项目。
新浪美股讯北京时间14日英国广播公司报道，英国媒体关注在英国欣克利角核电项目中，北京秘密准备拯救陷入困境的这个核电项目。
《泰晤士报》和《卫报》都报道说，英国财政大臣奥斯本的岳父、英国前能源大臣霍韦尔勋爵在上议院透露说，如果原来计划牵头承担这一项目的法国能源公司EDF临阵退却，中国有另一套方案绕过EDF直接在英国建造欣克利角的新核电反应堆。
报道引述霍韦尔勋爵说，中国可能直接在欣克利角建造两个小反应堆，工程时间比法国EDF的时间更短。
计划中的欣克利角核电C项目将提供英国7%的电力，但原来中国参与的这个项目的牵头方法国EDF公司近日宣布，这个项目的投资总额将从180亿英镑上涨到210亿英镑，比其原先在去年10月份承诺的金额高出16%。这个项目成为有史以来最昂贵的核电站。
此外，EDF宣布这个项目首期完工时间比原先承诺的推迟10年，即不可能在2027年完工。
这个消息发布后，美国评级公司穆迪称，因为欣克利角核电项目风险不断增多，已经将EDF公司评级降低为“负面”。EDF公司股价大跌，而该公司很多私人股东也反对该公司的英国核电项目。
包括中国在内的各方都在质疑法国EDF是否会最终放弃英国欣克利角核电站项目。
但中国绕过EDF直接在英国欣克利角建设核电站也面临诸多问题和挑战，包括：原来计划中使用的、早已通过英国审批法国核电机组将无法使用，中国如果替代使用国产的“华龙一号”机组尚未通过英国核电部门的安全审批，这一过程需3年至5年时间。
此外，一些英国军方和情报部门人士非常担心中国在英国建造核电可能会造成重大国家安全风险和技术等问题。
欧洲议会挫中国出口雄心
《金融时报》报道说，欧洲议会通过一项决议，认为中国仍不具有“市场经济地位”资格，而且没有理由放松针对中国产品的反倾销规则。
这一决议得到546名欧洲议员赞成，只有28票反对，77票弃权。
没有市场经济地位，欧盟可以很容易对被发现低于市场价格的中国产品开征报复性关税。
此前中国表示，按照世界贸易组织规则，该国将在今年底在全球范围自动获得市场经济地位，这也是中国最梦寐以求的政治目标之一。包括英国政府和欧盟委员会在内都支持中国这一声称。
但欧洲钢铁行业近期爆发的危机加剧了有关各方对放松有关关税的担忧，欧洲企业称，他们被来自中国钢厂不公平的廉价产品压得喘不过气来。
欧洲在给予中国市场经济地位问题上态度日益敌视之际，全球都出现了反对放松贸易壁垒的情绪；德国舆论大幅转向反对与美国达成具有里程碑意义的贸易协定，而美国总统竞选也充斥着格外强烈的保护主义论调。
欧洲议会周四（12日）的投票并法律无约束力，但它向欧盟委员会发出了一个信号，后者今年必须就此事提交议案，然后由欧洲议会投票决定是否批准。
