UK-China border security deal to help disrupt small boat supply lines 🤦🏻 Prime Minister expected to strike new border security pact on first China visit in eight years to disrupt supply of small boat engines More than half of small boat engines used by people smugglers crossing the English Channel are manufactured in China Agreement will also scale up removals of those with no right to be in the UK and intensify work with China to crackdown on synthetic opioids People smuggling gangs will be dealt a further blow with the Prime Minister expected to launch a border security agreement with China to tackle the flow of Chinese made small boat parts The new deal, which will be signed following the Prime Minister’s meetings with President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang in Beijing today, will for the first time enable joint UK-Chinese law enforcement action before boats and engines ever reach criminal networks in Europe Last year more than 60% of all engines used by smuggling gangs were found to be branded as Chinese manufactured engines Inflatable dinghies used in small boat crossings, often made using parts sourced in China, have been enabling gangs to pack ever larger numbers onto single vessels, with recent crossings carrying over 100 people in increasingly life-threatening conditions. Under the agreement, UK law enforcement agencies will work with Chinese authorities to prevent small boat engines and equipment used in Channel crossings getting into the hands of criminal gangs This includes intelligence sharing to identify smugglers’ supply routes and direct engagement with Chinese manufacturers to prevent legitimate businesses being exploited by organised crime The deal reflects the government's commitment to active, hard-headed engagement with the world's major powers to deliver for working people at home
