What should the Chinese in London do if the Immigration Department enforces the law rudely?

Law enforcement officers of the British Immigration Bureau raided the Chinatown restaurant in London earlier this month to search for illegal workers. During the period, there was a serious confrontation with the Chinese, and no explanation was given afterwards, which made the local Chinese dissatisfied. On 24th, a long-term strike was announced in London's Chinatown. At the same time, more than 1000 Chinese from all over the UK staged a demonstration in the center of London that day, demanding that the British government face up to the long-term rude law enforcement actions of the Immigration Department against the Chinese catering industry.

London Chinatown protested against the Home Office.

On July 5, when the law enforcement officers of the British Immigration Bureau confronted the local Chinese, a deaf-mute woman in China lay in front of the law enforcement vehicle to stop the law enforcement officers from leaving because she didn't want to see her family taken away by the law enforcement officers for investigation, but the law enforcement vehicle continued to move forward, and the Chinese at the scene stopped her to avoid casualties. Representatives of local enterprises tried to communicate with law enforcement officers and were pushed away by law enforcement officers. After the incident, the Immigration Bureau did not respond to the incident. ?

On the 24th, the merchants in London's Chinatown held a strike protest because they were dissatisfied with the government's attitude towards this incident. ?

At the same time, thousands of Chinese from all over Britain spontaneously gathered in London's Chinatown to show their prestige in front of the Prime Minister's Office and the Home Office. ?

Staff of Chinese restaurant in London: "The British Home Office arranged for representatives to receive official letters submitted by China people, but they still didn't respond to how the incident would be handled."

Look at the outside world, China people show-threaten to oppose rough law enforcement

On the 24th, it was rare for British Chinese to hold a public demonstration to protest against the Immigration Bureau's rough enforcement of the Chinese catering industry, and the incident also caused controversy in the local society.

At lunch time on the 24th, the doors of restaurants in London's Chinatown were closed, and merchants hoped that the strike would attract more local people and foreign tourists to pay attention to the demands of local Chinese.

Some European tourists think that China people have the right to use the strike to express their dissatisfaction with the rough enforcement of the Immigration Bureau. ?

Swiss tourist: "If China people think they are right, I think they have the right to do so."

There are nearly 300 merchants in London Chinatown, most of whom are engaged in catering industry. With the continuous tightening of British immigration policy in recent 2010/0 years, it is increasingly difficult for China restaurants to hire qualified chefs and apply for a work visa for chefs from China to come to the UK. Chinese food in Chinatown is no longer cooked by China chefs, nor is it news. Photographs taken in the kitchen of a restaurant in London's Chinatown show that Eastern European immigrants who can work in Britain without a visa are becoming the main force in the kitchen. ?

But despite this, Chinatown in all parts of Britain, including London, is still suspected by the British Immigration Service as a gathering place for illegal workers. Organizers of the strike on 24th told us that some members of the British Parliament still associate Chinatown with the words "modern slave-slave". ?

Hu Peicheng (Convenor of Shiwei Activity): "During our visit, we noticed whether there are a large number of illegal workers hidden in Chinatown, and the British locals are also skeptical."

Wilson (Londoner): "Yes, it is possible. But this problem is the same in other ethnic communities. But I am confident that this is true or false, or that I lack understanding of the facts. "

As for the right or wrong of the confrontation on July 5, the person in charge of the Chinatown restaurant in London who was raided by the law enforcement officers of the British Immigration Bureau also participated in the demonstration-prestige protest, but said that he did not want to say anything now. ?

Manager of the searched Chinatown restaurant in London: "I won't answer now, let's wait until this matter is over."

: "why?"

Manager of the searched Chinatown restaurant in London: "There is no reason, because swimming is ok now."

Looking up to heaven without words.
