Would use their own workers though, that's usually the case, HS2 is supposed to be creating work for British workers.

Rubbish. Do you think they will import thousands of chinese workers?.
Mind you if it gets it done I'm for it.

That's what they've done everywhere else.

Labour laws, health and safety etc are laxer in China and elsewhere though so it won't be as quick or cheap.

I think they're saying the first part is too far advanced already for the Chinese to do it anyway.

Now found to be fake news.

You would have thought that a publically funded organisation would check up the facts instead of regurgitating stuff from cheap public media sources.
