A Chinese company has abandoned its proposed acquisition of a British graphene company after the plan came under the scrutiny of the UK government, British Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said on Thursday.

Kwarteng last month ordered an investigation into the proposed acquisition of Wales’ Perpetuus Group by Shanghai Kington Technologies and others "on national security grounds.”
