Britain gave the go-ahead Thursday for the Hinkley Point power station, its first nuclear plant in a generation, but set conditions to address concerns about China's role in a landmark European project. China has a one-third stake in the project and analysts had warned that Britain, which needs to forge new trade deals after June's vote to leave the EU, could have jeopardised relations with the world's second-largest economy if it scrapped the deal. The announcement, welcomed by French and Chinese backers, came two months after Prime Minister Theresa May caused shockwaves by ordering a review of the £18 billion (21 billion euro, $24 billion) deal brokered under her predecessor, David Cameron.
