Chinese couple barred from UK over Communist party donation allegations

Home Office wrote to pair, who had leave to remain, accusing them of involvement in giving money to political figures on CCP’s behalf

A pair of wealthy Chinese nationals have been barred from entering the UK after the government accused them of being involved in making donations to British political figures on behalf of the Chinese Communist party.

The married couple, both of whom had leave to remain in the UK, received the bans last year, but details of their exclusion have only now emerged in a case before a secretive immigration tribunal.
