LONDON, July 25 — Britain is exploring ways to remove China’s state-owned nuclear energy company China General Nuclear Power Group CGN) from all future power projects in the UK, the Financial Times reported yesterday, citing people familiar with the plans.

A spokesperson for China’s foreign ministry, Zhao Lijian said today that “The British should earnestly provide an open, fair and non discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies.”
