    Chiiiiiiina!

    Leaked files expose mass infiltration of UK firms by Chinese Communist Party | Daily Mail Online

    Loyal members of the Chinese Communist Party are working in British consulates, universities and for some of the UK's leading companies, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

    An extraordinary leaked database of 1.95 million registered party members reveals how Beijing's malign influence now stretches into almost every corner of British life, including defence firms, banks and pharmaceutical giants.

    Most alarmingly, some of its members – who swear a solemn oath to 'guard Party secrets, be loyal to the Party, work hard, fight for communism throughout my life...and never betray the Party' – are understood to have secured jobs in British consulates.
    Oh, and where's the diversity in China leadership?

    In the future the UK will have to rely on Chinese and Indian investment. The British have no money as they've squandered it on fancy cars and flat screen TVs.
    I'm alright Jack

        The Irish have squandered money similarly, but have an export led economy.

                Well Irish pubs outside of Eire are essentially a front for the export of Guinness, aren't they?

                  What % of Irish exports do you estimate these bars / pubs represent?
