It’s brilliant for those kissing China’s ass and being enriched by it, but as for national and international security and a workforce in need of more jobs it’s really shit.
If the UK government trust the US more than China, I would call it a good move for the UK government. And the article did not say anything about the workers, only that the factory was sold to another company. Should be the same people working there, which would be UK citizens (or I guess people with work visa, since you cannot work there otherwise AFAIK).

What do you mean? They forced the Chinese company to sell it. An American firm bought it.
Yeah - so it went from cholera to pestilence. Great move for the British worker!

Yep - great move for the government. But fair pay and good work conditions is not fomenting us companies are known for.
It’s not something any company is known for.
Ok
That is a valid point, just look at Tesla and the strike in Sweden.
Shouldn’t local laws the ones taking care of that?
This is UK. When it comes to workers rights I think even Poland will rival them
