UK To Simplify Visa Applications For Chinese Nationals
Why not everyone?
Visa applications for Chinese visitors entering the UK will be simplified, Chancellor George Osborne has announced during his trade trip to China.
Under the plan, Chinese nationals visiting the EU will not need to submit separate UK visa applications if they book with selected travel agents.
Mr Osborne is trying to persuade more Chinese companies to invest in the UK.
But he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that his trip was also about changing British attitudes to China.
