A civil society group helping Hongkongers settle down in the UK has expressed concerns that the UK government’s welcoming fund for new Hong Kong arrivals has gone to groups with alleged links to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Hongkongers in Britain (HKB), an ex-pat group founded by Hong Kong activist Simon Cheng, called on the government to “reach out to Hongkongers beyond the well-established Chinese groups which may be subtly ‘open’ to the Chinese regime.”
