LONDON — British lawmaker Wera Hobhouse has called on the U.K. government to impose reciprocal entry bans on some Chinese politicians, after she was barred without explanation from entering Hong Kong in early April.
Hobhouse, 65, said she is the first member of Parliament to be denied entry to Hong Kong since the former colony’s handover to China in 1997. The politician from the Liberal Democrats party had planned a 10-day trip to visit her son and his family.
