Chinese nationals expelled over false visa information

QUẢNG NINH — A group of 52 Chinese were given administrative fines and forced to return to China, the police of Quảng Ninh Province reported.

According to the province’s immigration department, the Chinese nationals were fined in connection with providing false immigration information.

The police reported that the group came to Việt Nam on tourist visas, but, in fact, after entering, they hired hotel rooms in Quảng Ninh Province’s Móng Cái City to operate an online trading activity via China’s Tabao website.

Upon checking their rooms in Kim Hoàng Hotel in Trà Cổ Ward, the police found 40 laptops, 25 computers and some other equipment used for their illegal trading.

The group comprises 46 men and six women. — LV
