we then got a lot from oliver dowden about what the government has been doing in its approach to chinags it has been doing. as we have heard from the government so far that was in line with what other allies of the uk were doing on their way of approaching china, he also mentioned specific things the department had done and terms of banning tiktok on government funds. a bit of reassurance he is trying to give to some mps about what the government has been doing and how he has been approaching how it treats china. yvette cooper the shadow home secretary raising the questions about when did the prime minister actually raise concerns about this case with china, to that he'd applied they are regularly raising theissue applied they are regularly raising the issue of chinese interference, he did not specifically again refer to the case. yvette cooper also questioning what the government has actually done... we questioning what the government has actually done- - -_ actually done... we may have lost helen. actually done... we may have lost helen- we — actually done... we may have lost helen.

and deputy prime minister oliver dowden yesterday in the house of commons did suggest that there was a strong case for adding china to what's or to an enhanced tier of what they call the foreign influence registration scheme . now, registration scheme. now, basically that would, if that happens, would designate china as a potential risk to uk safety or interests. and it would mean that anybody who was working at the direction of china or for, you know, state owned chinese companies would have to register that and declare what they were doing and failure to do so could result in five years in jail. but i suspect this story has still got a long way to go. and we probably are only at the beginning of it. but this row about china completely reignited yet again . yet again. >> and catherine, another element in all of this is the secrecy that it's been shrouded in lots of criticisms of the decision of the speaker of the house of commons, lindsay hoyle , to keep that arrest back in march just to a minimum of people being informed, mps saying they had a right to know that and indeed don't we

oliver dowden, the deputy prime minister, is saying there's a strong case to place china on this , thisis foreign influence registration scheme. now if they did that, basically china would be deemed a potential risk to uk safety and interests and the consequence of that would be if they were put on this list that people working for the chinese state or companies with links to the chinese state would be obuged the chinese state would be obliged to declare their interest and tell the government what they were up to. the consequence of not doing that would potentially be five years in jail. but we don't know that that's going to happen. and of course , for all the words about course, for all the words about talking tough on china, the bottom line , as kemi badenoch, bottom line, as kemi badenoch, the business secretary said, is that we have to find a way to rub along with them because we have a huge economic interest in doing so. they're the world's other superpower. along with the us, we've got £100 billion of trade with them. a year. we actually export . £38 billion of actually export. £
