Cameron unveils visa changes for Chinese visitors to boost the economy

During China’s President Xi Jinping latest state visit to the United Kingdom, Prime Minister David Cameron said he aims to strengthen UK-Chima and bring benefits to the UK economy by allowing more high spending Chinese visitors in the country.
