Cruise ship chaos: Hundreds of British passengers refused entry to China Cruise ship chaos: Hundreds of British passengers refused entry to China

HUNDREDS of luxury cruise ship passengers were threatened with jail by giggling immigration officials who refused to let them in to China.

“I was told that if I was still here within 24 hours of landing and didn’t have proof of onward travel, I would be taken to prison."

“Entry into China under a visa waiver is not guaranteed and Chinese border officials have the right to refuse entry without warning or explanation.”
