PM defends China business deals

David Cameron says Britain has sealed deals with China worth almost £40bn, among them a multi-billion pound contract giving China a 30% stake in the building of Britain's first nuclear power plant in a generation.

The deals were announced on the second day of the state visit to Britain by China's president, Xi Jinping.

The prime minister defended his decision to do business with China, saying it was good for both countries.
