Investment Minister Dominic Johnson courts Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers, while the potential takeover of The Telegraph by an Abu Dhabi-backed fund undergoes review.

UK's Investment Minister, Dominic Johnson, is actively seeking Chinese investment, particularly from electric vehicle manufacturers, to help meet environmental targets.
Johnson's stance is in contrast with some Conservative Party lawmakers who have expressed concern over the UK's approach to China.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has reiterated that the UK can work with China in some areas while protecting Britain's interests in sensitive areas.
The UK is re-examining its National Security and Investment (NSI) Act that has disproportionately blocked Chinese-backed deals.
The potential takeover of The Telegraph by an Abu Dhabi-backed investment fund is being scrutinized, with an announcement expected soon.
