Remember the UK nuclear plant deal President Xi struck in his Last year visit to London, in which China will provide finance to the Chinese/French joint venture project co. witch will utilise Chinese/French tech. and equipments? I think the significance of that deal is that it has set up a precedent for the similar deals in the future. China chose UK for a reason: she is the birth place of common law, the mother of all modern laws; UK is an example/precedent for all others to follow. No wonder the Queen mother used "defining moment" in her addressing speech to Xi.The global market is now third gen, very competitive. The biggest competitor for CGN is Toshiba-Westinghouse from Japan, followed by Areva from France and KHNP from South Korea. Rosatm from Russia is also very active.

Despite fierce competition, CGN-CNNC has confidence in offering a comprehensive “one-stop shop” for nuclear power needs - from design to construction, financing, fuel supply, waste management and other services. “If you choose the HPR1000, it’s like you’re joining a big family” said Yang Maochun, a deputy general manager of CGN’s international business department.

So it is a logic that now we see 30 nuclear plants are planned along the one belt one road in conjunction with the AIIB. Unfortunately Japan has not joined, otherwise it would be a true win-win for all pro development countries including Japan.
