UK Hong Kong scheme ‘funding charity with links to Chinese Communist party’

Community groups accuse leadership of Wai Yin Society of having unusually close' ties with CCP

A consortium of Hong Kong community groups have accused the UK government's flagship programme for welcoming Hongkongers of funding an organisation with alleged links to the Chinese Communist party (CCP).

Last week, the government announced grants worth more than 3m to a range of organisations that support east and south-east Asian communities, including Hongkongers who have recently arrived in the UK via the bespoke British National (overseas) (BNO) immigration route.
