Which that
Hi.
"He adds: "Britain has a problem which that will make itself felt in the next 15-20 years. In the 19th century it was the most advanced engineering nation in the world. Now it has more or less given up on engineering and replaced it with finance. That means you can be hurt." [From The Guardian.]
I can't figure out what the wording "which that" mean in the context? I think that one of them, i.e. which or that, is redundant; in other words, the dependent clause should be introduce by "which" or by "that" but not by both. Am I right?
Thank you.
