Sometimes just a slapstick <<comedy>> … Team UK setting Team China up as fall guy for illegal migrant issue news.am UK asks China to stop exporting engines used for illegal migrants’ boats National Crime Agency (NCA) chiefs of the United Kingdom (UK) are in talks with China to persuade it to stop exporting engines used on dinghies crossing the English Channel, reports The Telegraph. The NCA seized about 450 engines early last year, the bulk of which have been produced in China, transported to Turkey and then, with the makeshift dinghies, taken to Germany, where they are stored before being used in Channel crossings. NCA investigators aim to build a case to convince the Chinese that engines are largely being used to illegally transport thousands of migrants across the Channel—and putting their lives at risk because the motors are so low-powered. “They’ve been selected by the crime groups that use them as cheap and just good enough with a following wind, literally, to get you across [the Channel],” said Rob Jones, the NCA’s director general in charge of operations He said the NCA aimed to demonstrate to the Chinese that such low-powered engines, normally designed for use on inland waterways or lakes, were being exploited by the gangs. The move is part of an enhanced strategy, coordinated by the new Border Security Command, to attempt to choke off the supply routes of the people smuggling gangs. The problem of illegal immigration has worsened in the UK since the country left the EU—although this problem was one of the main reasons for Brexit. Since 2018, more than 130,000 illegal immigrants have crossed the English Channel into the UK. The Labour Party government, which was formed after the parliamentary elections on July 4, has pledged to strengthen cooperation with EU countries to prevent the flow of illegal immigrants to the UK.
